Germany conference organiser spotlight
Dr. Markus Bauer
Industrie 4.0 Kongress · 1,400 attendees attendees
Dr. Bauer founded the Industrie 4.0 Kongress to connect Germany's Mittelstand manufacturers with automation and IoT solution providers. Held annually at Messe Berlin, the event features live factory-floor demos alongside traditional Vorträge (lectures). It has become the meeting point where family-owned manufacturers discover the robotics partners that modernise their production lines.
"German conference delegates expect precision — the multi-track agenda builder let us schedule 80 sessions across four halls without a single overlap."
