Formnext is moving!

The AM industry is booming, and this is also in evidence at Formnext. Since Formnext 2018, it has become obvious that Hall 3 no longer has the capacity required to host the event.
Which is why we are packing our bags and moving to Hall 11, the newly built Hall 12, and the Portalhaus on the Frankfurt exhibition grounds.
In our new location, we will continue to offer you innovative technology, a top-class conference, and an exciting program of supporting events – all supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure.
We can’t wait to move in and welcome you to our new home at Formnext from 19 – 22 November 2019.
