Host a Seminar at the Competence Stage
We don’t just want to talk about skills – we want to give visitors the opportunity to strengthen their expertise through our exhibitors. Competence Stage is a platform for knowledge sharing, inspiration, and networking – complementing the activities taking place in the exhibition stands. It creates value for both speakers and attendees, with a strong focus on topics shaping the future of the manufacturing industry.
For exhibitors, participation as a seminar or workshop host is completely free of charge. You can submit your expression of interest via the form below. Until September 25th, exhibiting companies at Competence by Subcontractor and SMART by Subcontractor have priority booking for seminar slots at the Competence Stage.
Content Guidelines for the Competence Stage
Sessions hosted on the Competence Stage must be seminars or workshops that are educational, knowledge-enhancing, and relevant to the manufacturing industry.
The purpose is to contribute to professional development and strengthen the competence of attendees – not to serve as a sales pitch or product launch. For promotional presentations, we instead refer exhibitors to the Exhibitor Stage.
