Surface treatment is a key technology for technically-scientifically, economically, and ecologically addressing current challenges in the development of innovative products. The Surface Days (Oberflächentage), organized annually in September by the Central Association of Surface Technology e.V. (ZVO), make a significant contribution to this.

The main goal of the Surface Days is to facilitate targeted networking between research and industry in the field of electroplating and surface technology, and to support cross-industry communication. Key topics include the exploration of new application areas for electroplated coatings, the increasing demands on coated surfaces, and the handling of new legislative regulations at the EU and national levels. The practical focus of the event is especially beneficial for the professional audience from development, design, construction, and manufacturing sectors.

In 2025, professionals in the fields of electroplating and surface technology will gather in Berlin from September 24 to 26. The #OTBerlin25 congress will kick off on September 24, 2025, at 6:00 PM with the opening event followed by a welcome evening.
