LEaT con Hamburg

06. - 08. October 2026 | Trade fair for the latest products and technologies for the live, entertainment and pro audio industry

The LEaT con – Live, Entertainment and Technology Convention is the leading networking platform for professionals in the event and entertainment technology sector. Every autumn, Hamburg Messe opens its doors to an event that stands out for its hands-on approach, forward-looking perspective, and distinctive format. Organised by Ebner Media Group GmbH & Co. KG, LEaT con brings together industry professionals and companies from the worlds of live events, AV installations, broadcast, film and television production, and event technology – all with a strong emphasis on knowledge sharing, professional development and meaningful connections.

LEaT con is far more than a traditional trade show: it’s an immersive industry event that seamlessly combines exhibition, conference, networking, and interactive experiences.

Manufacturers, service providers, system integrators, planners and technical professionals showcase cutting-edge technologies, systems and services – from lighting, audio and stage technology to AV integration solutions and AI-driven applications for events. Dedicated zones such as AVcon (focusing on ProAV solutions), Broadcast @ LEaT con, and the future-oriented NEO Summit shine a spotlight on the challenges and innovations shaping the industry today and tomorrow.

A major highlight is the comprehensive conference and training programme featuring hands-on panels, deep dives, workshops and keynotes. Industry experts offer valuable insights into emerging technologies, new business models and creative problem-solving approaches. At the same time, LEaT con provides a vibrant platform for dialogue and actively nurtures a strong sense of community, sparking new collaborations across the sector.

LEaT con is open exclusively to trade visitors – particularly from the fields of event technology, system integration, live communication, TV and media production, architecture, culture, event design and corporate events. Exhibitors represent the full spectrum of entertainment and event technologies, from established industry leaders to innovative start-ups.

Centrally located and exceptionally well connected, Hamburg’s modern exhibition centre is easily accessible by train, car or plane. It offers the ideal setting for a professional, focused and inspiring trade fair experience.

LEaT con is the definitive meeting place for those shaping the future of entertainment technology.
