CONTACT – Networking & Matchmaking

The international networking and matchmaking event CONTACT offers companies, professionals, and institutions a platform to network in a targeted manner, exchange experiences, and find potential collaboration and business partners.

Following several successful editions as part of denkmal, CONTACT will be expanded to include MUTEC for the first time in 2026. In doing so, the cooperation exchange brings together historic preservation, restoration, and museum technology, and opens up new opportunities for cross-industry and international connections.

For MUTEC, the event is aimed in particular at companies, experts, and institutions in the fields of museum technology, exhibition design, lighting, and display case technology.

CONTACT is organized by the Leipzig Chamber of Crafts in partnership with Leipziger Messe and the Dresden Chamber of Crafts.
