Control Expert Days 2026: Successful debut
The first Control Expert Days were a complete success. On 20 and 21.05.2026, the quality assurance industry experienced an intensive meeting that combined a trade fair and top-level information procurement for maximum efficiency and benefit.
The Control Expert Days event format, held for the first time, effectively complemented the Control trade fair and brought QA experts together at eye level. A top-class lecture program conveyed knowledge from practice for practice and met with a great response. "Full program, full house, full success. That's how we summed up the first Control Expert Days as a trade fair organizer," says Project Manager Fabian Krüger, summing up the debut of the new trade fair format. "Over the past two days, exhibitors, speakers and trade visitors have told us how important it is for them to come together every year and discuss new aspects of quality assurance. The Control Expert Days were an excellent platform for this and could hardly be topped in terms of intensity."
Control Expert Days as an industry get-together
A focused industry meeting with in-depth discussions and effective networking - this is how 1,306 trade visitors described their impressions of the first Control Expert Days. They were an important platform for inspiration, new impulses and forward-looking ideas in order to remain successful in the market. The package of topics was suitably put together: the presentations and discussions on the first day, hosted by moderator and editor-in-chief Wolfgang Kräußlich, focused on quality assurance and sustainability. The topic of artificial intelligence on the second day, which was led by moderator and editor-in-chief Dr. Peter Ebert, ensured full rows and excited attention. "Our goal as a service provider for our Control exhibitors is to provide an expert platform that combines trade fair, business and communication. With the Control Expert Days, this combination has been successful," emphasizes Bettina Schall, Managing Director of trade fair organizer P. E. Schall. "The compact, intensive format is a real upgrade and a useful addition to the internationally established Control brand. This is because it combines a top professional level, efficient event attendance and an effective personal exchange," says Bettina Schall. The trade fair organizer is preparing the next Control Expert Days for 2028; the industry is looking forward to Control, the international trade fair for quality assurance, from 11 to 14 May 2027 in Stuttgart.
