On September 16-17, 2026, MicroLED Connect + AR/VR Connect returns to the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven for its third edition. If microLED is on your roadmap, this is the event you cannot afford to miss! This year's event will also feature the first Optical I/O Connect segment on September 17.
This event brings together the entire ecosystem, from major display manufacturers to emerging startups and research pioneers, for three days of insights and collaborations. Expect a world-class conference program spanning the full value chain - materials, equipment, manufacturing, and device development - plus an exhibition floor, industry-led masterclasses, guided tours of local state-of-the-art facilities, and the networking that has become the event's hallmark. Masterclasses kick off on September 15 for those who want to go deeper.
This year the show is co-located with the second AR/VR Connect and an Optical I/O Connect track, uniting microLED, immersive displays, and optical interconnect under one roof. A single ticket grants access to all onsite tracks and the full exhibition, plus year-round online access to a rich library of recorded presentations from past events. The program is truly global, drawing key players from North America, Europe, and Asia.
The momentum speaks for itself. The 2025 edition welcomed more than 320 participants, sold out its exhibition space, and filled every conference room to or beyond capacity - a 25% jump over the inaugural year. Past participants read like a who's who of the industry: Apple, Samsung, Meta, Google, Sony, ASML, Applied Materials, LAM Research, Bosch Sensortec, Valeo, and many more, alongside microLED specialists such as JBD, Aledia, VueReal, Mojo Vision, Coherent, and Veeco. Coverage on the agenda ranges from materials and manufacturing to applications in AR, automotive, optical I/O, and large-area displays.
For 2026 the organizers expect to grow the event further - and demand is already showing. The exhibition ground floor has sold out, with the upper floor opening for the very first time.
MicroLED Connect is organized by TechBlick, MicroLED-Info, and the MicroLED Industry Association. Whether you're driving microLED toward large-scale commercialization or want a front-row seat to where displays are heading, this is the place to be.
Secure your spot now, and we'll see you in Eindhoven this September!
