AVEVA World 2026 is the annual flagship conference of AVEVA Solutions Limited, an industrial software company headquartered in Cambridge, UK and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schneider Electric since January 2023. The 2026 edition takes place in Milan from 19 to 21 May and is designed to bring together AVEVA's global customer and partner base for product education, technical training, and strategic exchange on industrial intelligence topics. ### How does AVEVA World differ from a general technology conference? The event is domain-specific: content is built around industrial operations, engineering workflows, and asset management in sectors such as oil and gas, power generation, chemicals, and life sciences. Sessions reference AVEVA's own product portfolio directly, making the conference particularly relevant to existing customers and prospective buyers evaluating AVEVA technology. It is not a horizontal IT or enterprise software event. ### Is AVEVA World 2026 suitable for developers and technical practitioners? Yes. The programme includes dedicated developer-oriented formats, specifically the Genius Track and the CONNECT Developer Bootcamp, alongside hands-on labs and product deep-dive sessions. These formats are designed for users who need technical depth beyond what is available in standard keynote and breakout programming. ### Who is AVEVA World 2026 NOT designed for? - Professionals from sectors with no connection to industrial operations, engineering, or asset-intensive environments - Technology generalists seeking a broad IT or enterprise software market overview rather than AVEVA-specific content - Early-stage founders or investors attending primarily to source deal flow or monitor startup activity, as the event is oriented toward practitioners and enterprise customers - Procurement or category managers seeking multi-vendor neutral analysis; the programme is substantially shaped by AVEVA's own roadmap and partner community - Academic researchers without applied interest in industrial software deployment, as the Academia Programme is designed for those with practical engagement in relevant disciplines ### What sectors are represented at AVEVA World 2026?
