Event canceled:
International Fastening Forum 2025
We regret to inform you that the International Fastening Forum 2025 cannot take place as planned and has been canceled.
Due to the far-reaching travel restrictions in many companies, significantly fewer participants have registered than would be necessary to hold an event of the planned quality.
We very much regret this decision and know that many of you were looking forward to the exchange and the exciting specialist presentations.
We ask for your understanding for this step.
Thank you for your interest in the IFF and your trust in us. We hope to welcome you to one of our future events.
