Well, first of all there is an event called CeBIT. As it says below:

CeBIT is the world's largest trade fair showcasing the state of the art in information technology. Held in Hannover, Germany, it typically attracts over 400,000 visitors and 5,000 exhibitors each year. CeBIT has been regarded as the leading business event for digital technology.

In addition, there are digital preservation techniques being displayed at one of the booths (Stand B14, Hall 9, Future Parc). See below for more details.
