The first Expert Workshop and Skill Day last December came about as a new format for fostering exchange and gaining inspiration from other like-minded professionals. Unlike the years before the pandemic, we decided to hold the User Meetings and ELBUM as standalone events independent of conferences, while also introducing a new concept for the meetings. The Expert Workshop and Skill Day was born – and was a great success!

Since we got so much positive feedback, we decided to continue with this format and are now happy to announce the second Expert Workshop and Skill Day, to be held in Best (near Eindhoven), the Netherlands, on March 5–7, 2024. The valuable feedback we received last time was used to create an even better meeting for all of you.

Some interesting facts about the event:

• Focus: technical and work-related topics
• Key advantage: presence of many Raith specialists from our product management, engineering, service, support, and applications departments
• Specialty: proximity to our Raith location in Best, the Netherlands. This also enables us to include a tour of our EBPG factory in this year’s event.

Furthermore, we are of course looking forward to hearing your presentations and experiences and will offer the possibility to schedule one-on-one sessions to resolve your individual questions. We also decided to extend the Expert Workshop and Skill Day to a three-day event to provide even more time for valuable discussion and to ensure stress-free arrival and departure for all. Further highlights include:

• Interesting talks
• Focus groups with Raith experts
• Networking session

and much more. To allow everyone to participate, the event will again be held in a hybrid format: you can participate online, but you are also very welcome to join us in Best, near Eindhoven!

Save the date now while we get on with planning the event to maximize the impact of the occasion. A first draft of the agenda will be available soon, but registration is open already––so make sure to save your spot now!
