DIRV Technical Conference 2026

Conference

Welcome to the DIRV Technical Conference 2026

The VDMA Working Group DIRV has launched the DIRV Technical Conference as the central industry event for industrial cleaning, created specifically for the customers of our member companies.

Industrial cleaning is not a “nice‑to‑have” process. It directly affects safety, plant availability and the cost efficiency of entire value chains. That is why the DIRV Technical Conference focuses on:

- direct dialogue on efficiency and real cost conditions,
- honest exchange on current market challenges,
- practical insights into successful shutdowns and proven approaches,
- and clear orientation for decisions in the year ahead.

On two days – 19 and 20 August 2026 – providers and clients come together to jointly shape the future of the industry.

We warmly invite you to be part of this dialogue and to think the future of the industry forward together.

Participation is free of charge for visitors.
