The 6th Industrial Valve Summit (IVS) 2026, taking place on May 19–21, 2026 at the Bergamo Exhibition Centre in Italy, features a technical conference with over 100 speakers, workshops, and panel discussions. This year’s programme focused on hydrogen, energy transition, decarbonisation, and digitalisation in valve technology.
ESA’s ESG Director Sandy Van den Broeck spoke at the IVS event, where his session provided an update on “Sealing Materials and PFAS: State of play for sealing applications within the PFAS restriction process” – and what it takes to turn compliance into a strategic advantage.
