With almost 300 participants, the Austrian Foundry Conference was a complete success and the atmosphere was excellent. Throughout the event, one sensed that there is a great demand for specialist events and conferences in presence.

As expected by almost all participants of this year's Austrian Foundry Conference, high energy prices, concerns about future political developments as well as the modernization and digitalization of foundries played a central role in the official presentations. Of course, these topics were also discussed in more detail during numerous individual meetings, for example at the very successful evening program. We are looking forward to seeing how the projects that have been informally initiated in the last few days will develop in the coming weeks and months.

At an accompanying exhibition with 24 companies from the supplier industry, the participants were able to inform themselves about new and interesting developments and also engage in an intensive exchange of experiences. Visiometa also had the opportunity to present itself to the audience and we are particularly pleased to be able to offer answers to a good part of the current explosive questions of these times with our professional solutions.

Many thanks to Mr. Schindelbacher and his team for the great organization of the event! Many thanks also for the numerous interesting discussions on the current topics of the foundry industry. We are looking forward to next year's event!
