"We were overwhelmed by the number of visitors," reports Executive Director Benedikt Weyerer, beaming. Almost 27,000 visitors - over 50% more than last year - streamed through the exhibition halls over the three days. Over 40% came from abroad. This impressive result even exceeded the high expectations of the event team.

"The dynamism of the embedded industry was palpable in the halls. Every year I am impressed anew by how open-minded and innovative this great community is," says Weyerer enthusiastically. "The many highly satisfied exhibitors are the best feedback for us," says Weyerer happily.

embedded world Conference and electronic displays Conference

The top-class lecture program of the two parallel conferences attracted 1659 participants and speakers from 46 countries to the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg.

"Our approach of reflecting the state of the art in a very clearly structured program and at the same time addressing new topics generated a very positive response from the participants; the classes and sessions were extremely well attended," summarizes Prof. Dr. Axel Sikora, Chairman of the embedded world Conference. "The three keynotes were of course excellent, and Prof. Ali Hessami's presentation on AI Ethics in particular really struck a chord."

"The glow of the displays was reflected in the eyes of the display enthusiasts. Innovations in LCDs, OLEDs, micro-LEDs and energy-efficient reflective displays were the focus of the presentations and networking," summarized Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Blankenbach, Chairman of the electronic displays Conference.

"The lecture program is second to none," says Benedikt Weyerer, praising the work of the program committees of both conferences.

Exhibitor forums, #women4ew and Student Day

Visitor magnets in the halls were the three exhibitor forums with exciting expert panels, company presentations and start-up pitches - they were almost always filled to capacity.

The #women4ew networking event celebrated its premiere. Around 100 women and a few interested men discussed career paths, leadership qualities and the added value of diverse teams on Wednesday afternoon. The discussion and positive feedback resulted in numerous ideas for a continuation of the format next year.

The third day of the fair was dedicated to the Student Day. What makes the embedded community special? What can I write my thesis on? What exciting jobs do the exhibitors offer? With these and many other questions, around 600 students mingled in the trade fair on Thursday and gained an impression of the fascination of the embedded sector from the keynote speech by Dr. Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO of Bosch Sensortec, among others.
