A two-day international conference in Munich gathering manufacturing leaders, engineers, and technology innovators to examine how smart factories, AI, robotics, and Industry 4.0 principles are reshaping production through automation and data intelligence.
The Global Smart Manufacturing Summit Munich is an annual, English-language B2B conference focused on digital transformation and advanced manufacturing systems. Now in its 12th edition, the summit convenes decision-makers, engineers, and technology innovators to examine how automation, data intelligence, and sustainable industrial strategies are redefining production at scale. The event is produced by London-based conference organiser Conferenzia World Limited and takes place across two days at the Holiday Inn Munich Westpark.
The summit addresses the practical question of how manufacturers translate Industry 4.0 concepts into operational reality. Attendees participate in keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive sessions, and masterclasses, with real case studies forming the basis of much of the expert discussion. A cocktail reception, structured networking activities, and an exclusive VIP tour of manufacturing facilities complement the formal programme. The event is positioned as a forum where industrial decision-makers can exchange experience on automation, AI adoption in production environments, and the shift toward smart factory architectures.
The summit provides structured B2B matchmaking and advance meeting scheduling as part of the delegate experience. A dedicated conference mobile app supports pre-event meeting requests and on-site scheduling. A lead scanner tool enables attendees to collect contact information from other participants during the event. Replay access is not offered; attendance is required to access content in real time.

The Global Smart Manufacturing Summit Munich is an annual two-day B2B conference held in Munich, Germany, bringing together manufacturing professionals to discuss smart factory technology, industrial AI, automation, and Industry 4.0 implementation. The 2026 edition is the 12th instalment of the event.
The summit focuses specifically on the manufacturing and industrial AI sectors. Content spans smart factories, production automation, digital manufacturing systems, robotics, and data-driven industrial strategy. It does not position itself as a general technology or enterprise IT event.
The summit is designed for professionals already operating within manufacturing or industrial technology environments. The programme draws heavily on case studies and practitioner experience, which is most useful to attendees who have some existing operational context. Those entirely new to the sector may find the content assumes a baseline of industrial knowledge.
