With more than 4,000 forum visitors, both physical and digital, the content of the lecture program was convincing with 120 specialist lectures, panel discussions and product presentations.
Despite travel restrictions that continue to exist in some cases, companies from a total of 38 countries took part in SPS 2022, with 29% of exhibitors coming from abroad. After Germany, the top 5 exhibitor nations were Italy, the USA, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands. The share of international visitors increased to 29% compared to 2019 (26%), partly due to increasing participation from the USA.
