It was a turning-point edition for IVS – Industrial Valve Summit, which marked a leap in quality, giving the event a distinctly international profile, both in terms of exhibitors and visitors. At the same time, participation in the scientific and technical deep-dive sessions further increased. These figures establish the event as the sector’s leading gathering and confirm the importance of an approach focused on enhancing value across supply chains—one that can also be applied to other industrial excellences in the region.”
With these words, Giovanna Ricuperati, President of Confindustria Bergamo, commented on an edition that marks a new milestone in the event’s growth trajectory. The result was built around the quality of the companies, technical-scientific dialogue, and the business opportunities generated during the Summit, in a sector that is strategic for Italy’s manufacturing industry.
The next edition of IVS will be held from 16 to 18 May 2028.
