About

The Metallkongress stands as a pivotal event in the metalworking industry, offering a dynamic platform for entrepreneurs, emerging professionals, and planners to engage with the latest industry developments. This notable congress provides a range of exciting content that spans various aspects of metal craftsmanship, from addressing financial challenges to exploring the future of young metalworking enterprises. 

Organized by the media brand M&T Metallhandwerk und Technik and the Bundesverband Metall (BVM), the Metallkongress combines a rich program of lectures and a specialized trade show featuring innovative suppliers. The event culminates in the prestigious award ceremonies for the Deutscher Metallbaupreis and the Feinwerkmechanikpreis on the first evening of the congress.

Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive agenda that caters to both metal builders and precision mechanics. One of the key presentations will be by Anna Sänger, a consultant for craft and metal construction, who will address the pressing issue of the skilled labor shortage and demonstrate how companies can leverage social media to attract talent. Following this, young entrepreneurs from the fields of metal construction and precision mechanics will share their experiences, challenges, and solutions, fostering a discussion with the audience.

A significant focus of the congress is on digital transformation and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Marcus Linnepe from Canei/Signal Iduna will explore how AI can address financial constraints within German crafts. Additionally, the Mittelstands-Digital-Mobil roadshow will complement these discussions with insights into digital solutions.

Technical topics such as 3D printing will also be prominently featured. Experts like German Sternberger and book editor Jörg Dombrowski will present on damage cases related to this technology, while Thomas Röper will provide information on geometric product specifications and the economic implementation of 3D printing for precision mechanics.

Moreover, the congress will showcase insights from two former winners of the Deutscher Metallbaupreis and the Feinwerkmechanikpreises, who will discuss their projects, challenges, and the technical innovations they employed to meet customer needs. These presentations will highlight the solutions and techniques that set their work apart, offering valuable lessons for all attendees. 

In essence, the Metallkongress not only serves as a critical gathering for those in the metalworking industry but also as a forum for exploring new technologies, addressing industry challenges, and celebrating excellence in metal craftsmanship.
