The 93rd Annual Meeting of the German Ceramic Society (Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft-DKG) & Symposium on High Performance Ceramics will be held in parallel to ceramitec 2018, April 10-13, on the exhibition grounds of Messe München in Munich, Germany. International speakers will discuss issues of the future for the ceramic industry in 14 thematic panels.

One of the core topics will be digitalization and Industry 4.0. The symposium will provide the opportunity to take a look at what the future has in store for these interwoven issues, and to discuss the changes to be expected by the world of ceramics. Another focus is placed on the current reshaping of the energy supply landscape. Discussions will involve how the ceramic industry can contribute, and how the required components and systems will be manufactured.

“The DKG Annual Meeting & Symposium has been held simultaneously with ceramitec again for quite some time now,” said Marion Lintl, ceramitec exhibition manager. “We are expecting some 300 participants. We are very much looking forward to it because this means that the entire ceramics family will get together under the roof of Messe München. Thus, we can offer young talents an international platform for presenting the results of their research, discovering new trends and having in-depth discussions with experts.”
