The full conference agenda for the co-located E-Waste World, Battery Recycling, Metal Recycling ITAD & Circular Electronics Expo (EBMI) has officially launched.

In addition, for the first time since its establishment, organisers have made the 2026 conference free-to-attend.

Gabriel Day, Conference Producer, said: “By making the conference free-to-attend, we are ensuring that the engineers, policymakers, and recyclers on the front lines have the data they need.”

The event will take place on 17-18 June 2026 at Halle 3.0 in Messe Frankfurt, Germany.

Four dedicated stages will be located at the “four corners” of the exhibition hall, placing 180+ speakers directly alongside 400+ solution providers.

While admission is free, the organisers have warned that seats at the conference stages are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Industry professionals are urged to register for their free pass as soon as possible to guarantee access to the sessions.
