Veranstaltungssprache

German

The next general meeting of the VDMA Bavarian Association will take place on November 21, 2025 at the AMERON Hotel in Schwangau.

Diesel engines, refrigeration machines, X-rays - many world-changing developments have their origins in Bavaria. The Free State produces entrepreneurs whose machines, systems and inventions are in great demand internationally. But Bavaria also means self-confident customs and idyllic postcard scenery.

The member companies of VDMA Bavaria live this special feature and harmonize a sense of home with a cosmopolitan outlook. This is exactly what the title of our upcoming members' meeting expresses: "Engineering tomorrow - from KINI to AI".

We cordially invite you to celebrate our unique industry together. The formal members' meeting will take place on November 21, 2025 at the AMERON Neuschwanstein Hotel. We are delighted to announce that Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and HRH Prince Luitpold of Bavaria will be our keynote speakers.

So please make a note of the date in your diary now. You will receive all further details in advance.
