Smart Systems Conference 2026

Save the Date: 18–19 November 2026 at FH Dortmund.

How resilient are our smart systems when things go wrong?

Smart systems are everywhere – powering our energy infrastructure, transforming mobility, connecting our digital world, and increasingly making decisions through artificial intelligence.

  • But what happens when the network fails?
  • When data becomes unreliable?
  • When infrastructure is attacked or overloaded?
  • When AI makes the wrong decision?

Resilience is no longer an option – it is a necessity.

At the Smart Systems Conference, experts from industry, academia, and practice come together to explore one of the most important questions of our digital future:

How can we build smart systems that remain safe, reliable, and operational under real-world conditions?

Discover innovative approaches, practical solutions, and new perspectives at the intersection of Energy, Mobility, IT and Artificial Intelligence.

Join the discussion, exchange ideas with leading experts, and discover how intelligent technologies can become the foundation of a more resilient and sustainable future.

Smart systems. Real-world challenges. Resilient solutions.

Be part of the conversation.

We have prepared a diverse program for you, featuring inspiring talks, interactive workshops, and engaging discussion panels. Our speakers are recognized experts in their respective fields, ready to share their insights and visions for the future with you.
