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.
This year’s CardTREX Europe included a tour of the Kurz facility in Fuerth, Germany. The event also featured a networking dinner and our signature Networking Zone – exhibit stations that allow industry 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.
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.
