The treatment of surfaces is a key technology for the technical, scientific, economic and ecological solution of current problems in the development of innovative products. The annual Surface Days organised by the German Surface Technology Association (ZVO) in September make an important contribution to this.

The primary aim of the Surface Technology Days is the targeted networking of research and practice on the subject of electroplating and surface technology and the support of cross-industry communication. The development of new areas of application for electroplated coatings and the increasing demands on coated surfaces as well as dealing with new legal regulations at EU and federal level are the core topics of the Surface Days. Trade visitors from the fields of development, construction, design and production in particular benefit from the practical orientation of the event.

In 2025, the electroplating and surface technology industry will meet in Berlin from 24 to 26 September. The #OTBerlin25 congress begins on 24 September 2025 at 18:00 with the opening event followed by a welcome evening.

Congress tickets (individual or group bookings) can be booked from mid-April 2025 via our online registration portal. The registration deadline is Monday, 22 September 2025, 13:00.

Overnight stays are online from presumably. Beginning of November 2024 possible.
