New at Welding Week: the Pitch Arena! This is the place where innovations, practical case studies and smart solutions from the industry take centre stage. Through short, powerful pitches, you will discover new developments and ideas from the sector in an accessible and interactive way.

Specialists and professionals are given a few minutes on stage to share their innovation, product or practical experience with you. Afterwards, the chairperson will briefly speak with them. No lengthy presentations, but clear stories, concrete applications and insights you can genuinely use.

The pitches will be scheduled by theme as much as possible. This makes it easy to see when topics that interest you are being covered and to fit the Pitch Arena easily into your visit to METAVAK.

Have you heard something interesting? After the pitch, simply visit the relevant exhibitor and continue the conversation. On the Wall of Fame next to the Pitch Arena, you can also discover which organisations are sharing their knowledge and expertise on stage.

Technical innovations can be impressive, but sometimes also complex. In the Pitch Arena, new techniques and solutions are presented in a clear, understandable and interactive way. Thanks to the combination of a powerful pitch, a conversation with the chairperson and audience involvement, you gain fresh insights and practical inspiration in just a few minutes.

You may even discover that one smart solution or innovation you are still thinking about on your way home.

Take a seat, listen in and be inspired at the Pitch Arena during METAVAK!
