SafetyWeek – Reliable since 2003

The SafetyWeek is the international
meeting point for automotive
safety experts and will be taking place
for the 24th time in 2026.

ON SITE & ONLINE

SafetyWeek &

Three individual conferences on requirements, testing and the future of safe mobility are accompanied by the renowned SafetyExpo that features the leaders in safety innovation
and technology.

On Site & Online

We are convinced that exchange and networking work best at an on-site event.
However, we also understand that there are sometimes reasons that prevent people from attending in person. For these cases, we offer online participation in SafetyWeek. With the help
of our conference app, participants can be close to the action and interact with the speakers
and other participants. 

Up to date and top-class

As always, the conference is highly up-to-date and will feature top experts. This way the participants get the answers to the questions that concern them in their daily work. Of course,
the changes in society and industry to the requirements of vehicle safety and the further development of automated driving will also be discussed and addressed.
