ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo Frankfurt

The ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo is Europe’s leading trade fair and accompanying conference dedicated to circular economy solutions in the electronics industry. It takes place annually at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main. The name of the event stands for IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and highlights its mission to promote a circular electronics industry—where sustainability, resource efficiency, and technological innovation play key roles. The event is organized by Trans-World Events Ltd., a globally recognized event organizer focused on sustainability and resource cycles.

Each year, Frankfurt becomes the central meeting point for the entire electronics value chain. The expo brings together manufacturers, data center operators, ITAD service providers, repair businesses, resellers, researchers, policymakers, and decision-makers in a format that blends information-sharing, networking, and innovation. More than 300 international exhibitors and over 180 expert presentations from industry, research, and politics provide deep insights into current developments.

Key themes include repair, remarketing, reuse, and refurbishment of electronic devices, ecodesign, ITAD strategies, urban mining, and sorting and recycling technologies. Regulatory frameworks for recycling and reuse of electronics are also addressed. The event showcases solutions for take-back systems, refurbished hardware, data erasure and tracking software, specialized material recovery technologies, and sustainable IT leasing models.

The expo serves not only as a platform for technological advancements but also as a reflection of global challenges related to electronic waste and resource scarcity. As part of a broader event series—alongside the E-Waste World Conference & Expo, the Battery Recycling Conference & Expo, and the Metal Recycling Conference & Expo—it plays a central role in the international discourse on circular economy and resource security.

Participating companies span sectors such as IT hardware, electronics repair, remarketing, leasing, material recovery, and research and development. The professional audience includes experts from these industries as well as policymakers, sustainability officers from major corporations, and data center operators.

Frankfurt am Main is one of Europe’s most important financial and technology hubs and offers a modern event setting at Messe Frankfurt, featuring top-tier infrastructure. Travel to the venue is straightforward—whether via Frankfurt Airport, the nearby central train station, or the city’s extensive public transportation network.
