CONTACT Open World 2026
CONTACT Software PLM/project management user conference (digitalization & PLM)
About this event
CONTACT Open World brings users of CONTACT Software's PLM and project management platforms to Bonn for two days. Organised by CONTACT Software, the 2026 programme covers digitalisation strategy, PLM implementation and product development process management, aimed at engineering and IT teams running CONTACT's software.
Who it's for
Genuinely useful for CONTACT Software customers and prospects, engineering and IT teams running PLM platforms, and manufacturing and automotive companies evaluating Industrial AI and digital-sovereignty strategy. Not useful for people outside the CONTACT ecosystem, generic AEC/BIM audiences, or those seeking vendor-neutral PLM comparison content, this is a single-vendor user conference.
