September 2022
It was planned for 2020, now it could actually take place two years later: The second E2 Forum in Frankfurt a.M. According to the organisers, the topic "Buildings digital, sustainable and secure" attracted a total of around 350 visitors and 41 exhibitors to the Frankfurt exhibition halls on 21 and 22 September. They expected an extensive programme of talks and, of course, the opportunity for extensive networking. The Forum was opened by Martin Schmitt, Chairman of the VDMA Elevators and Escalators Association, and Roberto Zappa, President of the European Lift Association (ELA).
LIFTjournal will report in detail on the E2 Forum in issue 6/22.
