The event will explore key topics shaping the future of the industry, including energy efficiency and the use of alternative materials for the decarbonisation of production processes. The trade fair further strengthens its international profile through the presence of global delegations and introduces new thematic exhibitions, including Ceramic Components: Hidden Champions in Industry and Everyday Life and Heavy Clay Experience.

The programme of events and conferences includes, alongside traditional technical presentations and specialist panels, talks featuring leading figures from industry and academia, the Career Day dedicated to younger generations, the Women’s Forum and the Bavarian Evening, fostering networking between exhibitors and visitors. Particular attention will be given to the conference on calcined clays as a material for reducing CO₂ emissions in the cement industry, highlighting the trade fair’s commitment to sustainability.
