analytica conference 2026
The renowned analytica conference is the science-oriented component of analytica. With around 190 lectures, it covers the entire spectrum of modern analytics and thus bridges the gap between research and routine analysis.
The next analytica conference will be held from March 24 to 26, 2026, at the ICM - International Congress Center Messe München - in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition halls. Participation in the conference is free of charge for all analytica visitors.
You can already look forward to top topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability and Reasearch Data Management as well as all the other presentations on food safety, water analysis, spectroscopy and much more.
In addition, an important prize will again be awarded during the analytica conference: the Bunsen-Kirchhoff-Award.
