Events & Dates

Presence with substance.

GFU is where the home and consumer tech industry comes together: at conferences, panels, fireside chats, and in direct dialogue with industry, media, and politics. As industry insiders, Carine Chardon and her team bring market knowledge and context to the debates that move the industry. GFU is active as an organizer and brand owner where it is at home: at IFA in Berlin.

In Dialogue

Where exchange happens.

Whether at a specialist conference or a fireside chat: GFU is regularly on site to bring people, perspectives, and topics together – without being an exhibitor itself. That role is reserved for the industry.

The connecting element runs through all areas of GFU: it is about creating interfaces and enabling conversations. For example, as an industry insider, Carine Chardon moderated the Media Innovation Platform MIP#7 in Berlin on the topic of how artificial intelligence is being integrated along the audiovisual value chain. At IFA 2026, she sat on the panel for “Reimagine Electronics. Circular by Design.” and discussed with representatives from industry and research how the circular economy in the electronics sector is moving from a niche topic to an economic necessity.

GFU continuously covers these and other stops on LinkedIn – with impressions, voices, and assessments from direct exchange.
