PGA Conference Europe returns to Munich from June 30 to July 2, 2026, held at the NH München Ost Conference Center in Aschheim on the city’s eastern edge. Organized jointly by ELEKTRONIKPRAXIS and the FPGA training center PLC2, it is the continent’s largest trade conference dedicated to programmable logic, and it covers all major device manufacturers rather than aligning to any single vendor.
The program is built for practitioners. The emphasis falls on user-oriented solutions that developers can fold into their own workflows quickly, spanning the full range of where FPGAs now sit: energy-efficient sensor fusion for automotive, condition monitoring on factory floors, and deep-learning accelerators in the largest data centers. Roughly 1,000 attendees and over 100 speakers are expected across the three days, with ticket options for one, two, or all three.
The signal this year is the new Embedded AI track. On July 2, the conference launches a dedicated program of Embedded AI Masterclasses focused on systems that implement machine learning directly in programmable hardware. That positioning is deliberate. As inference pushes toward the edge and data-center accelerator demand keeps climbing, the FPGA’s case rests on flexibility and power efficiency against fixed-function silicon, and the organizers are betting the reconfigurable-plus-AI intersection is where the next decade of value lives.
For anyone tracking the programmable-logic supply chain, Munich is the room where the application layer and the device roadmaps meet in the same week.
