The next conference brings Inside 3D Printing and partner Innorobo together with IFA Global Markets, a massive conference and B2B marketplace aimed at the consumer electronics industry. From September 4-7, IFA Global Markets will be taking place in Berlin, with close to 250,000 people expected to be in attendance. Within that large format will be two special exhibitions entitled 3DPrinting@home and Robot@home – think of them as concentrated versions of I3DP and RoboUniverse aimed only at B2B2C and retail channels, rather than the usual sprawling consumer product expos.
Robot@home will also be offering several conference sessions from September 5-6. The program is going to cram a lot into its two days, with a focus on current innovation trends within home and retail robotics. Session topics include:
- Market Data and Major Trends
- From IoT to Robot@home
- Vacuum Cleaner, Lawnmower: What’s Next?
- Robotic Assistance in Elderly Care: Learnings from the SmartAssist Project
- The New Home Interface
- The Future of Retail – Feedback on Pepper Deployment in Retail Stores
- Service Robotics in Europe: Current Status, Perspectives in the Frame of the H2020 European Program
- State of the Art and Perspective for Robot@home
- Personal & Professional Use
- Startup Pitches & Demos
- Foresight Session with Robotics as General Purpose Technology
Passes for the exhibition floor alone are free and can be reserved here for Robot@home, or here for 3DPrinting@home. Two-day conference passes for Innorobo can be purchased for €595 until September 4, at which point the price goes up to €695. A one-day conference pass is €355 until September 4, and then €415. All conference passes include admission to the exhibition floor as well. 3DPrinting@home and Robot@home will also be appearing as part of CEATEC, which will be taking place in Tokyo from October 4-7. The next full Inside 3D Printing Conference & Expo will be taking place in Shanghai from November 30-December 2. Discuss further over in the Inside 3D Printing Berlin forum at 3DPB.com.
