Non-destructive testing drives research and equipment that underpin manufacturing and industrial safety. Ecndt 2026 takes place from 15 to 19 June in Verona and gathers experts, academics and industry professionals to bridge research with commercial inspection systems.
What Ecndt 2026 brings to Verona
The conference pairs a technical congress with an exhibition. The programme features technical meetings, keynote speakers, the Talk Arena and a Technology Center for hands-on demonstrations. The event is presented as the 14th edition and is organized under EFNDT.
Special areas include the SII-Maintenance District, a Civil Engineering Hub, Leak Detection and dedicated networking zones. The structure aims to show equipment performance and operational workflows across manufacturing and infrastructure inspections.
Venue and practical layout at Fiere di Verona
Activities take place at Fiere di Verona with exhibition halls allocated to technology demonstrations and sponsored areas. The event site provides logistics on how to reach Verona, accommodation options and organized tours to combine professional attendance with the city visit.
Audience profile and company types
Participants include researchers, inspection engineers, quality managers and NDT equipment suppliers. Exhibitors present solutions for ultrasonics, acoustic emission, eddy current and imaging systems, addressing inspection needs in manufacturing, maintenance and civil engineering.
Preparing commercial prospecting for Ecndt 2026
Set clear objectives for each day, such as scheduling technical demos in the Technology Center, securing trial agreements or discussing pilot timelines. Identify target companies aligned to the NDT techniques you require and prepare concise technical briefs that highlight reproducible results and measurement criteria.
Request slots in the Talk Arena or demonstration areas through the event channels and arrange meetings in advance. During exchanges focus on deliverables, test protocols and post-show timelines to convert contacts into pilot projects.
