ATTENTION: Anniversary Event Cancelled!
Unfortunately, we have to cancel our planned anniversary event on October 9, 2025 cancel.
Our two main speakers had to withdraw at short notice for personal and business reasons. Under these circumstances, we could not guarantee the quality of the content and the standards we expect from such an event.
The planned topics – Digital twin, AI-powered administrative services, and AI-assisted analysis and transformation of legacy applications – we still don't want to withhold them from you. We are currently reviewing how we can share this content with you in a smaller, more individualized setting and will inform you shortly.
Thank you for your understanding and your support.
Networking. Exchanging. Connecting.
People at the center – exchange as the heart of our anniversary

Whether during informal exchanges at the innovation islands, in the World Café, or at the get-together: Decision-makers, thought leaders, and enablers meet here. open, personal, on equal terms.
Take the opportunity to expand your network, gain inspiration, and be part of a special moment.
