10th International ECLASS Congress
Cologne | September 24, 2025
Meet the experts and share experiences
Join us in Cologne for the 10th International ECLASS Congress as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations!
We bring together specialists, innovators, and successful practitioners in the fields of master data management and digital standards.
At this year’s ECLASS Congress, we offer an interesting and varied program with a large number of use cases and best practice examples from the fields of engineering and automation, as well as Building Information Modeling (BIM) or the chemical or electronics industry.
"The conference is one of the top events in the field of Digital Twin, Smart Manufacturing and Digitalization."
A special focus this year is the Digital Product Passport (DPP), which digitally combines all relevant product information, such as manufacturer, repair and disposal options, and makes it transparently accessible to all stakeholders involved in the product life cycle.
The congress is aimed at specialists and executives from the fields of procurement, development, planning, production, operations, logistics, automation and IT, as well as all the digitalization drivers. Around 250 international participants will have the opportunity to discuss all aspects of open standards on site, make new contacts with decision-makers from industry, trade, and engineering, and learn about exciting innovations in the Industry 4.0 environment.
This year’s congress is again planned as a hybrid event and will be held in English. Participants from all over the world are welcome!
