Also in 2026, we look forward to welcoming you to the Müller‑BBM expert discussions – the established meeting place for experts from public authorities, municipalities, planning, consulting and industry. For ten years, the expert discussions have been known for their in-depth knowledge, practical exchange and top-class experts from administration, research and industry.
This year, you can once again expect the latest developments, practical examples and direct dialogue with proven experts from all relevant areas of immission control.
We are delighted that Dr Monika Kratzer, President of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment, will open the technical discussions with a welcoming speech. This sends a clear signal about the importance of immission control in the conflict between political requirements, technical developments and social expectations.
