Heller's virtual international event V-CON 2020 will take place on 10, 11 and 12 November 2020


With its online exhibition and conference V-CON 2020, taking place from 10 to 12 November, machine tool manufacturer Heller and its partners will be introducing a new, interactive, international event format that combines the benefits of a physical trade fair with the possibilities of the digital world.

The event is targeted towards customers, industry experts and journalists interested in experiencing modern manufacturing solutions. At V-CON 2020, interested visitors are able to register in advance, enrol for events and make appointments.

V-CON 2020 starts at 9am on Tuesday, 10 November with a compelling panel discussion about digitalisation in manufacturing. In addition to providing a comprehensive insight into the various facets of the manufacturing solutions on offer, the digital trade fair will also see the launch of a new generation of the HF five-axis machining centre, offering extensive flexibility for applications in a broad spectrum of industries.

Visitors to V-CON 2020 will be able to make contact with a few clicks and will have access to the know-how of approximately 200 experts from Heller and its partners. It will be easy and efficient to communicate via chat or video call and to move from machine to relevant solutions including tooling, measuring and test equipment and automation.

Furthermore, the three-dimensional trade fair environment will provide an opportunity to find out how Heller Services supports users before and after a purchase.

Marcus Kurringer, head of Heller marketing said: “With V-CON 2020 we have developed a format that stands out from and goes beyond the conventional webinars that have been staged this year. Our three-dimensional world of manufacturing solutions creates an entirely new, virtual experience and the specially developed digital format is designed to offer visitors genuine added value.”

The TalkPodium, for example, offers visitors a chance to attend moderated live panel discussions in the form of a TV show, providing informative insights as well as an opportunity to ask questions and to enter into conversation.

RoundTables will give visitors an opportunity for an exchange within smaller groups, with experience reports from users and experts’ opinions. Additionally, a virtual guided tour will take trade fair visitors around the Heller headquarters and factory in Nürtingen.

Recognising the benefits of building synergies with suppliers to expand and complement its portfolio, Heller will be involving group subsidiary companies STS, Wenzler, Paatz and GSN, as well as partner companies from the automation, tooling and other sectors.
