»The place to be for controls and drives technology in Europe. The rising internatio-
nal participants prove that the exhibition's importance increased inside and outside
Europe.«
»“It is fun, it is fantastic, SPS IPC Drives is a great finish of the year. Much more
important though, it is a good indicator that the coming year will also be a positive
one.
For Turck the automation show SPS IPC Drives has an outstanding relevance
regarding market communication.
We have been attending for 12 years and are amazed at the event´s enormous
development.
At the beginning, nobody would have thought that an automation trade fair would
become so distinct, that the customers would become so keen on coming here.
It is a fix date in each and everyone´s calendar, more and more also on an internatio-
nal level. SPS IPC Drives is a high speed event with no holdup times for us.”«
»When talking about automation, SPS IPC Drives is definitely the place to be. Most
visitors are key decision-makers in the industry and the overall experience exceeded
our expectations. We will be back.«
»We moved to Hall 11 with the intention of giving the visitors even better orientation
on our booth. Before the show we were a little tense of whether the new hall concept
would work out. But already at 10 am on the first day it was clear that it did. Ever-
ything was just fine, not least due to the help of Mesago. We are completely happy,
and so are our visitors. For the future of SPS IPC Drives, we hope that the already
growing share of international visitors will continue to rise. This is the leading expert
tradeshow, second to none.«
»SPS IPC Drives is the grand finale of each exhibition year. The atmosphere and
openness of the exhibitors as well as the variety of product presentations complete
the show's concept effectively.«

Once again the SPS IPC Drives conference, which was held
concurrently to the exhibition, provided the perfect platform to
exchange knowledge between experts and users from the industry.
The conference commitee chose among the numerous submissions
48 best lectures for the conference programm. Speeches about topics
like „Automation Cloud“ or „Energieeffizienz und
Energiemanagement“ as well as the panel discussion „Chancen und
Grenzen von Industrie 4.0" offered an extensive variety of subjects as
well as new insights at the end of the year to the 253 conference
attendees.
The two free of charge keynotes , „Big Date“ and „Unkonventionelle
Antriebe und Smart Materials“, which showed innovative solutions for
different automation tasks, were one of the highlights. Another special
event was the award ceremony of the „Innovationspreis der
Auomatisierungsindustrie“. Three speakers below the age of 35 have
been awarded for the best contribution.
In times of intensive competition, the 48 lectures, two keynotes as
well as the panel discussion provide the 253 conference attendees
with the decisive advantage of knowledge.
