HORSCH program for the winter season
The established event series HORSCH Live is entering a new round in 2024. The popular HORSCH Seminars, too, will also finally take place again. Originally, HORSCH Live was a replacement for the HORSCH Seminars during the Covid 19 pandemic. In winter 2024, both formats will be available for the first time.
Under the motto “Weather extremes – Can state-of-the-art production technology counter them?” HORSCH Live enters a new round in January. In 2024, too, the audience can look forward to four exciting speeches about current topics. They will be streamed as an event series starting at the 15th January every Monday evening from 7.30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
