Leat Con 2026 convention in Hamburg

Overview

The fifth edition of the Leat Con networking convention, held from October 6 to 8, 2026, at the Hamburg Messe, achieved record attendance with over 11,700 professional visitors. Operating under the theme ‘Ignite. Together.’, the event expanded its footprint to three halls and five specialized hubs: Live Tech, Stage Tech, Broadcast, Install, and Communicate.

The program included over 250 points across seven stages, featuring workshops and masterclasses in sectors such as audio, lighting, video, AI, and production workflows. While the Stage Tech and Live Tech hubs saw high engagement, the Broadcast sector experienced quieter attendance, which was attributed in part to its proximity to the IBC trade fair.

Marcel Courth, Managing Director of Unit leat at Ebner Media Group, noted that the event successfully functioned as a horizontal platform, fostering cross-industry interaction and maintaining a focus on personal exchange.
