Exhibitors and professional visitors benefit from newly generated advantages, increased cost-effectiveness, and attractive business impact through intensive networking.
QA Expert Days for more efficiency and benefit
The event format QA-Expert Days combines the features of a trade fair and a conference. This exclusive two-day expert meeting will become a high-caliber and focused gathering of decision-makers, presenting specialized knowledge and industry innovations in a condensed and concise manner.
From 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, industry news will be communicated in an engaging and practical manner through expert presentations, discussion rounds, and demonstrations. All traditional Control exhibitors are invited to actively participate and contribute their respective expertise.
'The Control is the most important professional event in the QA and measurement technology industry,' says the managing director of the trade fair company. 'This year's Control, with 36 percent internationality, has once again proven that it has a global impact across all industries.' The focus of all companies is on efficiency, productivity, resource conservation, and sustainability. The trade fair organizer aims to support these conditions with the new trade fair rhythm and the complementary event format. Therefore, exhibitors and professional visitors should mark their calendars for the upcoming dates: QA Expert Days from January 20 to January 1, 2000, and the 38th Control, international trade fair for quality assurance, from April 27 to 30, 2027, in Stuttgart.
