A+A returns to Düsseldorf October 19-22, 2027, bringing together the people, products, and technologies shaping workplace safety and health. For anyone developing, evaluating, or implementing occupational exoskeletons, this is an event to mark on the calendar. Its audience includes employers, safety professionals, occupational physicians, and industrial buyers, the people involved in deciding how wearable robotics can fit into everyday work.

Exo Park is already part of the announced 2027 offering. Messe Düsseldorf’s official brochure describes three complementary activities:

• Exo Park group stand: A shared exhibition area where manufacturers can present exoskeletons and wearable robotics and visitors can explore the technology. (See prior coverage on ExR of Exo Park)
• Self Experience Space: Organized by Fraunhofer IPA, with practical test stations drawing on applications in agriculture, automotive manufacturing, logistics, and the skilled trades.
• Future Tech Stage: Four days of programming about industrial exoskeletons, covering user needs, research, technical developments, and regulatory topics.

Together, these formats promise opportunities to meet developers, experience devices, and discuss the practical questions behind workplace adoption.

A+A also has an established connection with WearRAcon Europe, which took place alongside the trade fair in 2023 and 2025. Organized by Fraunhofer IPA and the University of Stuttgart’s IFF in collaboration with the Wearable Robotics Association, the conference has brought researchers, manufacturers, and industry users together to discuss occupational exoskeletons, evaluation, implementation, and digital ergonomics. Previous editions have also featured the EXOWORKATHLON, examining exoskeleton use through realistic work tasks.

WearRAcon Europe’s specific 2027 dates and program have not yet been published on its official website. Its history at A+A nevertheless adds to the event’s appeal as a meeting point for the occupational exoskeleton community. With Exo Park already being promoted for 2027, there is a concrete reason to expect a substantial wearable robotics presence.

Dates: October 19–22, 2027
