Milano, Hotel Melià
via Masaccio, 19
This year’s Conference will be held in the vibrant city of Milan, hosted by ASSOFERMA, ARGE’s member in Italy. The event will take place at the Hotel Meliá, a hotel with innovative design and elegance in the booming district of Zona Lotto. The market conditions in many areas of the European lock and building hardware industry are currently unfavourable.
Nonetheless, as an industry association, ARGE must retain its strategic orientation towards the medium and long-term development even in such a challenging situation. This is particularly important at the current time as our industry is undergoing a process of change in which digitalisation is becoming increasingly relevant in connection with our products and services.
The driving elements here are not only of a technical and commercial nature, but also legal framework conditions and requirements need to be taken into account. This is why the topic of ‘digitalisation’ will be a significant element of this year's ARGE Conference. In addition to ARGE’s experts, guest speakers will also shed light on this development. The second main subject will be the new EU Construction Products Regulation, expected to be published end of 2024. Its effects on CE marking of building hardware products will be addressed specifically.
So, we recommend that you register soon! It is our strong ambition and commitment to make your participation at the ARGE Conference 2024 rewarding and memorable. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you at the ARGE Conference 2024!
