In over 400 specialist contributions, internationally leading experts will discuss current and future technological developments.

An accompanying trade exhibition will provide information about the current spectrum of installations and services. In an "Industrial Forum", exhibitors and companies will also present products and applications and invite the guests to enter into a dialogue close to practical needs. In total, around 50 exhibitors from twelve nations will introduce their solutions accomanying the conference. All the leading companies in the sector will be represented and thus show in an impressive way what high status ITSC has in the field of thermal spraying.
