Successful online premiere: For five days,DVS CONGRESS 2020 informed the experts

摘要

Over 320 participants met online for the first time from 14 to 18 September 2020 for the DVS CONGRESS. Participants from Brazil and the USA also took part in the extensive technical programme on "Additive manufacturing" "Occupational health and safety" "Modern welding processes" "Surface technology" and many other topics from joining, cutting and coating technology. The DVS as the organiser was satisfied with the course of the event, the results and the thoroughly positive response. "We were a little nervous when the first presentation of the DVS CONGRESS was held online, but we were well prepared, so that everything worked out very well," says Simone Weinreich, organiser of the event and head of the "Transfer & Network" department at DVS. Within just two months, DVS, together with its associated company DVS Media GmbH, had planned and carried out the annual congress online for the first time. The fact that this led to such a successful result is also due to the speakers of the technical lectures. Weinreich explains: "Without the large number of presentations, the DVS CONGRESS could not have taken place in this form. Special thanks therefore go to all those who prepared their presentation and answered the questions during the event in a live broadcast."
