prostep ivip Symposium -Boosting Digital Realities in Engineering and Manufacturing

Darmstadt – 29 November 2017 – The 21st prostep ivip symposium for experts and executives from all over the world will be held on 18 & 19 April 2018 at the MOC in Munich, Germany. 

Global competition, ever-shorter development times, lower costs, internet of things, digital transformation, systems engineering, and the growing complexity of products and production are the issues that currently concern the manufacturing industry. Engineering and production need to be closely interlinked – therefore more transparency is needed. The management needs the right numbers and forecasts as a basis for making decisions. This requires innovative thinking, new methods and processes and in the end more powerful software tools. All these topics will be addressed at the prostep ivip symposium 2018.

The accompanying exhibition, appreciated as an ideal communication platform by guests and exhibitors alike, has already been booked by more than 20 companies. 

In 2018, the event will be sponsored by the companies BMW und CENIT. Says Kurt Bengel, member and speaker of CENIT’s executive board: „Manufacturing companies are being asked today more than ever before to establish continuous processes and integrated digital engineering to make their company fit for the future. The prostep ivip symposium 2018 will provide important impetus for the strategic and operational implementation. We are pleased to be able to contribute to the success of this event.“ 

The event organizer prostep ivip e.V. anticipates up to 600 participants from industry, science and research, as well as IT. 

The symposium will be held for the 21st time and has established itself as the independent conference in the field of Product Lifecycle Management.
