The 38th Control, international trade fair for quality assurance (QA), will take place from April 27 to 30, 2027, in Stuttgart. For 2026, the industry can look forward to a new professional event format – the QA Expert Days. This two-day event from January 20 to January 1, 2000, will serve as a working and communication platform, providing the opportunity to present expertise and industry innovations in a compact and streamlined manner. The high-profile expert meeting offers all participants significant added value through exclusive and direct business exchanges during presentations, discussions, and best-practice presentations. A complementary exhibition rounds off the QA Expert Days 2026.
'The Control brand is relevant across industries. It is considered indispensable by many companies worldwide,' states Bettina Schall, managing director of the trade fair company P. E. Schall. 'It therefore remains a reliable annual milestone in the trade fair and professional event calendar. The new format will kick off a new event rhythm in 2026: The Control, international trade fair for quality assurance, will take place in odd years, while in even years, the industry will gather for the two-day QA Expert Days in Stuttgart. This provides all providers of QA technology with an efficient and contemporary presentation opportunity. At the same time, the expert community continues to meet annually under the umbrella of the significant and established Control brand. Exhibitors and professional visitors benefit from newly generated advantages, increased economic efficiency, and attractive business impact through intensive networking.'
QA Expert Days for more efficiency and benefit
The QA Expert Days event format combines the characteristics of a trade fair and a congress. The two-day exclusive expert meeting will become a high-level and focused decision-maker gathering that compresses and succinctly presents expertise and industry innovations. From 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, industry news will be communicated in an engaging and practical manner through professional presentations, discussion rounds, and presentations. All traditional Control exhibitors are invited to actively participate and contribute their respective expertise.
'The Control is the most important professional event in the QA and measurement technology industry,' says the managing director of the trade fair company. 'This year's Control, with 36 percent internationality, has once again proven that it has a global impact across all industries.' The focus of all companies is on efficiency, productivity, resource conservation, and sustainability. The trade fair organizer aims to support these conditions with the new trade fair rhythm and the complementary event format. Therefore, exhibitors and professional visitors should mark their calendars for the upcoming dates: QA Expert Days from January 20 to January 1, 2000, and the 38th Control, international trade fair for quality assurance, from April 27 to 30, 2027, in Stuttgart.
