Networking Event of the Year: “Belt Conveyors and Their Components”
The 2026 conference “Belt Conveyors and Their Components” is the networking event of the year for manufacturers, users, and operators.
Essen – On May 19 and 20, 2026, the bulk material handling industry will gather at the Haus der Technik (HDT) in Essen for the 22nd specialist conference “Belt Conveyors and Their Components.” This well-established event is regarded as the most important networking meeting of the year for manufacturers, users, and operators of belt conveyor systems. Experts from industry and research are expected to exchange views on the latest developments and proven solutions in belt conveyor technology.
Program and Networking
Specialist presentations by renowned experts will address current topics related to continuous conveying systems. As usual, the lecture program will be complemented by an attractive supporting program: a joint dinner at the end of the first day and an exclusive technical excursion will provide ample opportunity for informal exchange and networking. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants can make contacts and share experiences directly with speakers and colleagues from the industry.
The 22nd Belt Conveyor Conference reflects, at its customary high standard, the current state of the art of all system-relevant components of belt conveyor systems – in both fundamental and practice-oriented presentations. At the same time, the lectures offer an outlook on future requirements and developments that should already be taken into account today in planning, operation, modernization, and maintenance. This provides participants with valuable impulses to operate their systems efficiently and reliably in the long term.
Target Group and Exhibition
The accompanying on-site product exhibition is also of great importance: it offers suppliers and sponsors the opportunity to present their latest products and solutions to a knowledgeable audience with high visibility. At the same time, conference participants can obtain first-hand information on current technologies from the exhibitors and hold discussions with potential business partners during the breaks.
The event is aimed at manufacturers, users, and operators of belt conveyor systems as well as engineers, planners, and maintenance specialists from the bulk solids industry. For more than two decades, this conference has established itself as a permanent meeting point for the conveying technology sector – and anticipation for the 22nd edition in 2026 is correspondingly high. Further information about the event and registration options can be found on the HDT website.
