[ September 7th + 8th · Bad Schönborn, Germany ]
THE EV:ent
Join the first Charging Software Summit
Creating innovation from end-to-end is a long journey – if you do it on your own. But we believe that real innovation is a challenge best mastered through co-creation. If you too see no point in handling foundational technology in isolation – this one is for you. Let’s evolve our industry together.
Benefit from a specialized event
THE EV:nt is a place for technical leaders, innovators and charge point operators. Two days of deep collaboration, honest conversation, inspiration and lots of networking.
September 7th + 8th, 2026
As an event host, Pionix provides its headquarter and supplies you with food and drinks.
Grow
Gain insights from the brightest minds of our industry. Learn in different workshop sessions and talks how others tackle challenges in EV charging, and gain fresh perspectives on your own work.
Connect
Whoever or whatever you're looking for to solve your EV charging challenges – you'll find it here. We've kept the event's focus this specific on purpose – so like-minded people can find each other.
Enjoy
This is not a glossy trade-show or business conference. It's a summit that combines the grounded style of a startup-garage with good food and drinks. No need to suit up.
Create
You are more into hands-on-mentality? Then extend your stay. The EVerest Community Hackathon 2026 will take place immediately afterwards. Find all the information here or at the Linux Foundation.

Dr. Marco Möller, CEO, Pionix GmbHClosing Panel — State of the Industry
Moderator: Wulf Schlachter, C-Level Consultant, DXBe | Panelists: T.B.C.The event was created in collaboration with Pionix and Eveyo to work together on the future of EV Charging. With EVerest, we’ve embraced the open-source mindset. But in the industry and among major brands, this kind of exchange is often lacking. That’s why we wanted to create a place where code and experience – not products – are shared.
