CardTREX Europe 11-12 October, 2018
Hilton Munich Airport, Munich, Germany
About CARDTREX Europe
CardTREX Europe is a one-and-a-half day conference that focuses on regional challenges and opportunities for card manufacturers, personalizers and suppliers along with the latest trends, technology and innovations. This event is geared to technical and production staffs as well as executives and business owners in the transaction card industry.
ICMA is excited to be planning our third, newly formatted CardTREX Europe, 11-12 October, at the Hilton Munich Airport. Formerly known as the ICMA EuroForum, CardTREX Europe offers enhanced education and networking, as well as a showcase for exhibitors to share their products and ideas with card manufacturers, personalisers and suppliers. This year’s CardTREX Europe will also include a tour of the Mühlbauer facility in Roding, Germany. As the industry continues to evolve with new and emerging technologies and markets, companies are faced with evaluating their strategies for the future. CardTREX Europe delivers greater education and networking on a regional level.
Our 2018 event also features a networking dinner and our signature Networking Zone – exhibit stations that allow card suppliers an opportunity to display product literature and other information for card manufacturers, giving production/operations personnel who typically attend CardTREX a chance to meet their suppliers. The event also features a Speed Share session, when exhibitors talk about their products, followed by a vote on the best product in the show. CardTREX Europe is open to ICMA members and non-members.
CardTREX events are open to ICMA members and non members, however ICMA members receive significant discounts. Non members are encouraged to attend to see what ICMA events have to offer. See the Registration area to see related fees.
Yes! ACE training and exams will be available at CardTREX Europe on Wednesday, 10 October. See the ACE section for more information.
