Date & Venue
March 29 – April 1, 2026 in Jena/Germany
Jena is the cradle of the optical industry. In the middle of the 19th century, Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott laid the basis for rapid development with their intelligent collaboration. With two universities, several outstanding research centers and the resident high-tech industry, Jena is now a prosperous location for business and science. The areas of competence of the City of Light are primarily in optics, photonics and health and life sciences.
Europtrode will take place in the conferene center Volkshaus (Carl-Zeiß-Platz 15, 07743 Jena, Germany).
With a history of over 100 years and the lovingly preserved original architecture with Art Nouveau elements, the historic building of the Volkshaus Jena fascinates all its guests. Modern equipped rooms with extensive service, reliable organization and an impressive ambience are available for meetings and celebrations.
