2026 in Review: All About Automation in Wels

Strong Start for “all about automation” in Austria

The inaugural edition of all about automation in Wels on May 20–21, 2026, was a resounding success. The two-day event was marked by face-to-face discussions, short distances between booths, concrete solutions, and a vibrant trade show atmosphere. The event showcased practical automation, robotics, and digitalization solutions for machines, systems, and industrial production.

With 268 exhibitors, all about automation in Wels immediately became Austria’s largest automation trade show in terms of exhibitor numbers and, at the same time, the largest aaa premiere in the trade show series. 3,566 trade visitors took advantage of the event to engage in direct dialogue with manufacturers, system integrators, and automation specialists.

The next all about automation in Austria will take place on September 21–22, 2027, in Graz. In Wels, all about automation will return on May 17–18, 2028.
