News and Events

We are pleased to inform you that we ARE going forward with the World Conference!! 

We understand that unfortunately, some of you simply won’t be able to attend because flights are being cancelled. In this case, it would be very kind to notify us as soon as possible.

Most of you should be able to make it if you are able to consider other modes of transportation (car, train, etc.). We certainly hope that you are still able to come. Hopefully the airports will open again tomorrow. We very much appreciate your interest in, and support of, the Materialise World Conference.
