The story of Decortech Conference
Each edition, a step forward
Decortech was launched in 2022 within Tecna as a conference focused on digital decoration and surface finishing — an initial platform for dialogue between technology and aesthetic research.
In 2024, it grew into a special event, with a dedicated arena and space. Eleven sponsors, thirty international buyers from seventeen countries — manufacturers and processors of non-ceramic surfaces. A clear signal that the market was asking for exactly this kind of platform.
In 2026, Decortech takes the next decisive step: becoming the leading international event for those working at the intersection of decoration, finishing, technology and surface design.
