CADISON International Conference 2026
4 - 5 NOVEMBER 2026, Sunday Hotel Bad Soden, Bad Soden am Taunus
Engineering Intelligence
From Integrated Data to Smarter Plant Design
Where plant data becomes the foundation for smarter engineering.
The CADISON International Conference 2026 brings together users, customers, partners and industry experts to explore how integrated data is transforming industrial plant design and construction.
Date::
4 - 5 November 2026
Location:
Sunday Hotel Bad Soden
Königsteiner Str. 88,
65812 Bad Soden am Taunus, Germany
Directions
At the heart of CIC 2026 is Engineering Intelligence: the connection of data, models, processes and people. The conference shows how structured engineering data can create real value across the plant lifecycle – with greater transparency, fewer interfaces and a strong foundation for future digital workflows.
A special focus this year is on Industrial AI: from practical keynote insights to concrete approaches showing how AI-supported workflows can support engineering processes – for example, by helping to use and transform existing information into more intelligent data structures.
In addition, we will address topics such as integrated and data-centric Engineering, Digital Twin, Cloud Collaboration, Legacy Conversion – always with a practical, data-based approach and a realistic view of their concrete value in day-to-day project work.
Look forward to customer and project presentations, insights into the upcoming CADISON version and practical workshops on the second day of the event.
