The 15th Stamping Technology Congress, the leading specialist and networking event for the stamping and forming industry, will take place on 7 and 8 April 2025 at the Westfalenhallen Congress Centre in Dortmund.
This year, the two-day programme with specialist presentations by experts from industry and research will focus on two main topics:
- Tools - our path to economic success
- Intelligent and innovative quality assurance
The programme will also focus on the current challenges facing the industry.
The interdisciplinary programme section on the morning of the second day of the congress will focus on the topic of ‘Social media - customer acquisition and retention as well as recruiting’ with two presentations and a subsequent panel discussion. Among other things, the diverse possibilities of LinkedIn for SMEs will be examined.
The traditional evening event on the first day provides an informal setting for an in-depth exchange of experiences and networking.
Over 200 experts and interested parties from German-speaking countries and neighbouring countries are expected to attend. A trade exhibition of over 30 well-known companies from the industry will accompany the Stamping Congress.
