The exhibition is structured to show furnaces, atmosphere control systems, industrial process materials and measurement or control solutions alongside vendor services. ## Scientific programme and opportunities for young researchers The event bundles the 82nd HeatTreatmentCongress with the 31st IFHTSE World Congress, ECHT and Steel Innovation 2026. There is a poster award with a submission deadline for announcement on 15 August 2026 and specific support measures for students and early career researchers within the congress framework. ## Practical B2B preparation for Cologne - Use the exhibitor directory to shortlist suppliers and pre-book stand meetings. - Prepare technical dossiers and examples of in-service failures or required specifications to focus technical discussions. - Agree internal evaluation criteria before attending so vendor presentations can be scored objectively. - Request demonstrations of process control or atmosphere generation where possible and document acceptance criteria. - Follow up the same week of the event with technical minutes and next steps to keep momentum. These steps turn stand visits into actionable procurement leads and technical trials. ## Numbers and organising partners The exhibition will include roughly 150 exhibitors. The congress is organized by AWT and Steel Innovation is run in cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e. V. and Stahlinstitut VDEh. ## Closing note and official link Combining the international congress with a concentrated exhibition at Köln Messe creates an efficient environment to compare furnaces, process gases and surface treatment services.
