After four successful years in Germany, the International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA) is looking ahead to the future of CardTREX, and we're inviting our members to help shape its next chapter.

As the epicenter of the global card industry, ICMA brings together card manufacturers, personalizers, issuers, suppliers and innovators from around the world. Our members advance the payments, identity, security, gift card and card manufacturing ecosystem, and CardTREX provides a distinctly European forum where this global community can connect, exchange expertise and explore what's next for the industry.

For 2027, we are seeking a host organization in a new European location that will help expand CardTREX's reach and make the conference even more accessible to professionals from across the continent.

We're especially interested in centrally located European destinations that are easy to reach by air or rail and offer opportunities to introduce attendees to new companies, new regions and new perspectives.
If your organization is passionate about supporting the global card industry and helping CardTREX continue to grow throughout Europe, we'd love to hear from you.
Proposal Deadline: December 1, 2026
