The IVAM Hightech Summit is a central point in the year where companies from micro and nanotechnology come together and present the latest technologies and products as well as discuss the developments in the future. 

Topic: "Back to the Microtechnology Future: Yesterday's Visions, Tomorrow’s Realities"

In the year 2024, we present technologies in the change of time: from fantasies in science fiction movies to actual technological reality. Which technologies were imagined or shown in films several years or decades ago? What was pure technological fantasy in the past and is reality today? We will get to the bottom of this and link science fiction films with reality as part of our conference.

For you it will be a cinema experience with film clips of science fiction movies from different decades. Be curious!

Date and Venue

Our venue is the DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum e.V. in Frankfurt. The DFF is a publicly funded film research institution in the form of a registered association since 1949 and is a leading international film heritage institution. It uniquely combines museum, cinema, archives and collections, festivals, digitization projects, research, and numerous educational opportunities.

Next year's IVAM Hightech Summit will take place on May 07 and May 08, 2024.  

The conference language is English.
