Global safety event A+A congress is set to return for its 38th edition from October 24 to 27, 2023 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Hosted by Messe Dusseldorf, A+A 2023 is a hub where workplace safety and health experts converge to share ideas, policy plans and best practices, shaping the industry’s way forward. This includes emerging trends, such as the “Vision Zero” preventative strategy designed to nullify occupational accidents and diseases.

Themes of digitalization and sustainability are slated to take center stage at this year’s event, echoing the global shift towards more technologically integrated and environmentally conscious workplaces. In addition to showcasing recent accomplishments, the A+A congress offers a glimpse into the products, experts and research deciding the future of occupational safety.

One of the most-anticipated highlights is the integration of the WEARRACON EUROPE conference and EXOWORKATHLON life study scheduled from October 25 to 26 and 24 to 27, respectively. These coordinated events will address exoskeleton technology, which aims to enhance workplace safety by combining human physiology and mechanical augmentation.

Introduced in the 1950s, A+A Congress—which runs parallel to the A+A trade fair—remains a pivotal event for occupational safety in Germany and beyond. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the previous congress in 2021 attracted around 1,500 trade visitors. According to the A+A website, attendance is normally closer to 5,000 guests.
