Speakers
In 2026 we offer you again two different alternatives for submitting a paper for the Stuttgart International Symposium: either via SAE or FKFS.
If you submit your paper via SAE, it will go through a peer review process. The paper will then be published via SAE and you will give a 20-minute talk.
If you submit your paper via FKFS it will be published on the FKFS website. In this case, you will present your paper in a 20-minute talk. Alternatively, you can choose to present a 5-minute pitch.
In both cases, you will hold a presentation or pitch on your submitted paper at the 2026 Stuttgart International Symposium on site in Stuttgart.

Information for Speakers
Language
The conference language is English and therefore all presentations will be held in English.
Presentation
You will have 20 minutes for your presentation, followed by approximately 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
Pitches
There is a special time block during the event for short pitches. A pitch needs a well-researched topic that is backed by science or professional expertise in order to provide valuable knowledge. Pitches that primarily promote products will not be accepted.
Each presentation consists of one slide and a maximum of 5 minutes speaking time. The content should be communicated clearly and in a way that is easy for all attendees to follow.
A short abstract is required for the pitch. This must be submitted along with the other required information via the submission platform. After reviewing all submissions, we will decide which pitches will be included in the program.
Admission and registration
Speakers (Presentation or Pitch) get free admission to the Symposium.
With acceptance of your paper you will be registered automatically.
One of the co-authors gets 30% discount on the conference fee. A second co-author gets 10% discount. Co-authors please register via our online-platform. You will receive the discount code upon request from EMENDO.
