10 Mar International in4ma EMS & PCB-Forum 2026
On July 8 and 9, 2026, in4ma invites you to the EMS & PCB Forum – the annual meeting place for the European electronics manufacturing industry – at the Maritim Hotel Würzburg. Under the theme “Choosing the right strategy that creates your future,” the focus will be on strategic decisions, global market trends, and new business models.
The conference day on July 9, 2026, will comprise four thematically focused program blocks – from the global market environment and the development of the EMS industry to the economic situation in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and Europe, to new markets and innovative business models. The focus will be on strategic decisions, geopolitical influences, digitalization, and market consolidation.
The event will kick off with a relaxed networking dinner the evening before, July 8, 2026, at the Maritim Hotel Würzburg. This year’s networking evening will not only provide an opportunity for discussions, but also feature a special highlight that is deliberately being kept a surprise.
The event will be held in German, with professional simultaneous translation into English for international guests, including participants from the Netherlands, France, Spain, Poland, and Slovakia who have already registered.
