We’re heading back to Munich!

Rapid Electronics will be at electronicaFair 2026, 10–13 November at Messe München. You’ll find us on the Conrad Stand 241 in Hall B5.

Held every two years, electronica is where the global electronics industry converges: four days of cutting-edge technology, game-changing product launches and conversations that shape what comes next.

Andy Keenan, James Bates, Aimee Brooks, Cosima Denton Mill and Oliver Dawson-Dragisic will be on the stand throughout the show, ready to talk through your upcoming projects, share insight on the latest innovations and explore how Rapid can power your next big idea.

Not making the trip this year? Follow us here and across our social channels for live updates and highlights straight from the show floor.
