SHOWTECH 2025 is aimed at professionals and decision-makers from the entire international theater and event industry. Exhibitors and visitors come from all areas that bring theaters and stages to life:

• stage technology and drive systems
• control systems and automation
• Architecture and Technical Planning
• lighting, acoustics, audio, video and media technology
• studio technology and museum technology
• Decoration, equipment, make-up and costume design
• safety technology and protective measures
• Stage management and logistics

Whether you are a technician, set designer, specialist planner or creative mind - SHOWTECH offers a unique platform to exchange information about the latest technologies and innovations and to make valuable contacts. Every two years, experts from the industry come together here to experience the state of the art and shape the future of theater.

The SHOWTECH is much more than just a trade fair – it combines first-class Networking, practice-oriented Further Training and the latest innovation trends in the theater and event sector at an international level. Here, tradition and modern technologies merge into a format that takes professional exchange to a new level and creates sustainable partnerships for the future.

Why SHOWTECH is special:

• trade fair and specialist congress: On May 21 and 22, a high-profile specialist congress will take place parallel to the trade fair in the Glashaus. Here, topics curated by experts will be discussed that shed light on key developments and trends in the industry.

• Interactive formats: Whether in SoundLab, Innovation Stage or to the Round Tables, where active participation is very important. Discuss directly with the leading minds of the theater industry - instead of just listening.

• SHOWTECH Night: This legendary networking event has established itself as one of the most important meeting places in the industry and offers a relaxed atmosphere for exchanging ideas and making new connections.

• presence of professional associations and universities: National and international institutions from the educational and cultural sectors are strongly represented, which makes SHOWTECH an important meeting place for knowledge transfer and the exchange of future-oriented technologies.

SHOWTECH is the indispensable event for all those who want to actively shape the theatre industry and are looking for the latest innovations and solutions for the stages of the future.
