Through the eyes of our community
A unique atmosphere where competitors become friends.
Many participants describe Intergraf as far more than a conference.
For Janos Friss of Jura, every event since 2000 has left lasting memories:
“I do not have one memory only. I have many.”
“The special VIP atmosphere, when colleagues, friends and customers meet each other.”
“I never felt that a competitor is only a competitor, they are more friends than competitors.”
Others highlight the rare quality of conversations and connections created during the event.
Marie-Hélène Dazin from IN Groupe describes Intergraf as:
“A uniquely sensitive market where trust is essential. Intergraf creates the conditions for discussions and opportunities that may take much longer to develop elsewhere.”
For Malik Alibegovic of INTERPOL, the event represents:
“A trusted meeting place where central banks, governments, industry leaders and innovators come together with a shared sense of purpose.”
Across five decades, delegates repeatedly point to the same strengths: neutrality, independence, confidentiality and trust.
These qualities have allowed Intergraf to remain a platform where open discussions can happen between public and private stakeholders alike.
Memorable moments across 50 years
Intergraf memories are often linked not only to presentations and technologies, but also to shared experiences.
“Checking in at the begin of the conference, the heartbeat accelerates.”

“Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be expelled.”
“The pleasant feeling to be among friends, among the trusted network of peers.”
Delegates fondly remember iconic gala dinners, historic venues and conversations that continued long after conference sessions ended.
Several participants recalled the unforgettable 2000 event hosted at the Royal Palace in Vienna, while others highlighted the atmosphere of recent dinner parties in Copenhagen and Seville.
Peter Wagner reflected on the friendships built over decades of participation:
“Over the years, many friendships were forged through these events, some of which we still maintain today.”
“Intergraf has always managed to bring together the right people at the right time.”
For many attendees, Intergraf has become a place where professional relationships evolve into long-term partnerships and personal connections.
