Full announcement (unchanged)

PLM professionals will convene for two days of collaborative insights into the opportunities and challenges of AI across the product lifecycle. ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA & Stockholm, Sweden, October 28, 2026—The planning committee responsible for PLM Road Map & PDT Europe 2026 has announced that the upcoming PLM Road Map & PDT EMEA 2026 conference has reached maximum capacity and is officially sold out. Scheduled for 4-5 November 2026 at the Lindholmen Conference Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, the event brings together senior executives, engineering leaders, and PLM practitioners from across Europe and around the globe. This year’s theme, AI in PLM: A Disruptive Opportunity and Challenge, Turning AI disruption into enterprise value: Strategic insights for the PLM professional, focuses on navigating disruption, strategic implementation, and AI governance within PLM, and has drawn unprecedented interest from across the industrial manufacturing ecosystem. “The rapid pace of technological change, particularly at the intersection of enterprise PLM, digital threads, and AI, has created a critical need for candid, peer-driven dialogue,” said Cheryl Peck, CIMdata’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Reaching full capacity before the conference opens underscores the PLM community’s vitality and the urgency of these topics. We are thrilled by the overwhelming response and look forward to delivering an impactful agenda.” “PLM continues to expand its reach, connecting an ever-growing number of people, processes, and functions across organizations. With the rapid emergence of AI in PLM, we now have an opportunity to rethink established ways of working and achieve levels of speed, insight, and efficiency that would have seemed unattainable just a few years ago. Yet, regardless of how technology evolves, people will remain at the heart of PLM,” said Håkan Kårdén, CEO of Håkan Kårdén AB and a member of the conference planning committee. “The fact that the conference is sold out is a clear reflection of the strong demand for these conversations and the continued importance of meeting face-to-face. We are delighted by the overwhelming interest and look forward to welcoming PLM professionals from across the industry for what promises to be a highly engaging event.” PLM Road Map & PDT EMEA 2026 features a curated lineup of keynote presentations, practitioner-led case studies, interactive panel sessions, and a Collaboration Café, where leading PLM solution and service providers showcase their cutting-edge technologies. Key topic areas for the two days include: • AI in Engineering & Manufacturing: Moving beyond experimentation to secure and govern enterprise value. • The Digital Thread & Digital Twins: Establishing end-to-end traceability across complex product architectures. • Open Collaboration & Standards: Enabling multi-enterprise data exchange using PDT best practices. With registration officially closed, we are preparing for an exciting year ahead and invite you to join us in 2027 as we bring the PLM community together in the Washington, D.C. area in spring and in Paris, France, in the fall.
