ISPE at the Lounges 2026 in Karlsruhe – Feedback and Thanks
Dear ISPE speakers,
Overall, the Lounges 2026 in Karlsruhe were a very positive experience for us as speakers. The open format, the direct exchange with the participants and the high visibility of the ISPE content contributed significantly to the success.
In particular, the opening beyond individual communities of practice was very well received and has strengthened the interdisciplinary dialog. The panel discussions have also proved their worth and, in our view, should definitely be retained – with good content planning.
There was a very good response to the multiple presentations, double speakers and clearly structured contributions relating to ISPE Guides. We see potential for the future in areas such as
- stronger linking of the presentations with ISPE Guides,
- Targeted preparation of stand displays (images, videos, presentations),
- standardized ISPE templates for lounges,
- and a continued conscious consideration of diversity in the contributions.
- Detailed information on how to become an ISPE member and what it costs should be provided.
In addition to our members on site, special thanks go to CoP Critical Utilities , CoP Containment and CoP Project Management for their great support – both through high-quality presentations and dedicated stand service. Without this commitment, the presence and impact of the lounges in this form would not have been possible.
Many thanks to everyone involved for your commitment, your openness and the excellent cooperation. We look forward to continuing to develop this successful format together. This year, our sessions have approx. >600 participants reached.
Best regards
Stefan Raabe
