International XXXI. APIS User Conference 2025
Recap
When: September 16 and 17, 2025
Where: Wernigerode

An era ends, a new one begins
We sincerely thank all participants of our recent International XXXI APIS User Conference. The event was filled with insightful presentations, lively discussions, and valuable networking opportunities — all centered around FMEA and maximizing the potential of the APIS IQ-Software.
A central theme of the conference was clear: “An era ends, a new one begins.” On the one hand, this marked the conclusion of a long tradition — the International APIS User Conference reached its 31st edition and came to a close in its familiar form. At the same time, it became evident that the community will continue to thrive and evolve.
A highlight of the event was the recognition of Juergen Eilers, retiring Managing Director, whose expertise and dedication have been instrumental in the development of the APIS IQ-Software.
Looking ahead, we are excited to invite you to the upcoming PeakAvenue Conference, where users of all PeakAvenue products will come together. This event will foster cross-platform knowledge sharing and provide a unique opportunity to exchange insights, best practices, and innovations across tools and industries.
Stay tuned — we look forward to welcoming you in 2026!
