The challenging context of a CIO? What’s Today’s excitement about?

Today the world is turbulent and at the same time the banking competition is increasing. With new fintechs entering the market; new technologies getting mature; it’s almost a heaven for CIOs. And although new technology trends are making our life easier, like cloud & AI solutions. We also need to focus on Operational Resilience, Cyber-  and Security threads. And the latter developments are knocking hard on our door. Together with regulations like DORA and GDPR it’s a fantastic challenge to transform into an agile, data driven, customer obsessed digital bank, preferable mobile first. And of course with a modern modular IT Architecture. So, Why am I so excited about our transformation and future?

Managing Marketing Effectiveness in the age of AI

As marketers we always look for the most efficient measures. But is that really the essence in the long-run?! Or is it even better to put efficiency and effectiveness together. Creativity is about visualization but also about raising the ceiling. Latest research states that 42% of marketeers do little or no test & learn on creative. AI will allow you as a marketeer to focus on innovation and strategy while AI will get you these creative assets to increase effectiveness. We still focus our actions on increasing efficiency. But this could keep us too short. Efficiency gains in one department could result in inefficiency in another. That is why we need to embrace effectiveness over efficiency.

Make Entwicklerinnen Great Again

IT gilt heute als männerdominierte Branche – doch das war nicht immer so, besonders in der Softwareentwicklung. Denn tatsächlich waren unter den Ersten in der Programmierung sehr viele Frauen: 40-50 % in den 1960ern. Heute sind es nur noch ca. 20 %. Wie konnte das passieren? Und wie können wir Frauen in der IT (wieder) zur Normalität machen?

Chatte mit deiner Datenbank – SQL und GenAI

SQL-Anfragen zu schreiben ist nicht nur aufwendig, es ist zusätzlich notwendig jede benötigte Anfrage vorher zu kennen. Da uns GenAI heute schon in den verschiedensten Unterfangen unterstützen kann – warum also nicht auch bei SQL? Wie wäre es, wenn Nutzer ihre Daten selbst erfragen könnten und nicht den Umweg über einen Entwickler gehen müssten?

In diesem Vortrag schauen wir uns Prompting Techniken an, die uns helfen Nutzer Anfragen in SQL-Anfragen umzuwandeln. Wie ein solches System am Ende aussehen könnte, sehen wir in einer kurzen Demo.

It's not all about the LLMs - warum auch andere KI-Modelle weiterhin spannend bleiben

Large Language Modelle (LLMs), wie z.B. GPT, haben die Möglichkeiten, wie natürliche Sprache mithilfe von KI verarbeitet werden kann, grundlegend verändert. Aber was heißt das eigentlich? Sind andere KI-Modelle damit jetzt out? In diesem Vortrag gibt die KfW dir einen Einblick, wie KI KfW-Mitarbeitende täglich darin unterstützt, sich einen Überblick über Tausende von Nachrichten zu verschaffen und welche Methoden des Natural Language Processing (NLP), d.h. der Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache, dabei zum Einsatz kommen. Anschließend wird sich angeschaut, wie ein GPT-Modell als Beispiel eines LLMs einige dieser Aufgaben bewältigt und an diesem Beispiel Do’s und Don’ts zum Einsatz von LLMs gezeigt.

Are Humans Intelligent?

This talk explores the concept of intelligence, starting with a review of existing definitions and moving towards a fresh perspective on the different types of intelligence. Challenging the conventional narratives, the discussion highlights several inherent limitations of human intelligence and argues that its evolution has been relatively stagnant. Notably, the talk questions our understanding of what it means to „understand“ in the first place. The presentation shifts to the progress in artificial intelligence, covering different categories like Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI). It addresses AI alignment, biases, and raises the provocative argument that we may already be in the era of AGI, despite humanity’s struggles to even define it. The talk concludes by urging that if we do not evolve ourselves, AI will inevitably surpass us.

Requirements and Technologies for explainable, transparent and sustainable AI in highly regulated areas

AI has become a key productivity driver in various areas, particularly in use cases where compliance, accuracy, and explainability are less critical. However, the greatest potential for AI lies in its integration into business processes that prioritize data privacy, security, transparency, explainability and accuracy, especially in avoiding hallucinations. This session will explore the technical, operational and economical challenges and propose solutions for successfully integrating AI as digital advisors in these high-stakes areas.

Next-Level Security: Echtzeit-Sicherheitsüberwachung in einer komplexen Bankeninfrastruktur

André, Abteilungsleiter für Infrastruktur und IT-Sicherheit bei der C24 Bank, veranschaulicht in diesem Vortrag die umfassende Sicherheitsstrategie einer komplexen, dezentralen On-Premises-Bankeninfrastruktur. Er zeigt auf, wie eine maßgeschneiderte SIEM-Lösung auf Basis von Wazuh als Open-Source-Tool eine ganzheitliche Sicherheitsüberwachung ermöglicht, die sämtliche Server und Netzwerke kontinuierlich überwacht und Bedrohungen frühzeitig erkennt. Besonders im Finanzsektor, mit seinen strengen regulatorischen Anforderungen, stellt die Lösung sicher, dass sicherheitskritische Ereignisse zentral in einem eigenen Security Operations Center (SOC) gesammelt und analysiert werden können. Der Vortrag gibt Einblicke in die technischen Herausforderungen und zeigt, wie die Bank eine widerstandsfähige und konforme Lösung implementiert hat, die auf verschiedenste Bedrohungsszenarien schnell reagiert.

    Marc
    I was there for the first time, very interesting to get an insight into the industry and to get to know the companies there.
    The presentations were also very interesting and exciting.

  4. Tobias says:

    Top organised event, so praise to the ITCS people.

  5. Viacheslav Redkin says:

    I thought that ITCS Messe was only interesting for developers and their employers. But it is much more. Every IT professional can find something interesting. There is a lot for QA, project managers, product managers, SMM and HR specialists and so on.
    ITCS fair is for me not only a place where I can talk about perspective job, but a great meeting place with IT community. Every trade fair offers for start-ups make me very happy.
    My friend pointed out an important detail. At job fairs, you can talk to various company representatives. You can learn about the details of the corporate culture and environment and get information about non-obvious but important details that you would otherwise only know after a trial period in the company.

  6. Andreas Knobloch says:

    I was very impressed by the interest in IT and us as an employer. I am taking away many positive impressions and insights from ITCS. AND... I had a lot of fun!

  7. Mikhail says:

    It was quite useful and a lot of fun. I learnt about companies and met people - exactly what I was up for. The afterparty was great. Big thanks to the organisers and everyone!

  8. Rohit Kishore Rao says:

    Well-organised event. Regular communication about the event by the organising team was very helpful. Got to learn a lot about the job market by interacting with different people from different companies.

  9. Ernst Hatton says:

    I thought it was great. Thank you!

  10. Dario says:

    Was an exciting experience looking forward to a next time

  11. Katharina says:

    There were a lot of interesting companies represented who took a lot of time to answer all my questions. For me, the "line-up" was the best compared to other job fairs in the region.
    Great event for networking too - we'd love to do it again next year! 🙂

  12. Daniel Garrido says:

    Thank you ... it was a great event!!!

  21. Yuliia Hordiichuk says:

    I attended ITCS Frankfurt 2024 and was thrilled from the very beginning. The organisation was great - from the registration, accompanied by timely reminders and comprehensive information, to the perfect execution and welcome atmosphere on site. The format of the talks, the variety of topics and the speakers were great. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend all the talks I was interested in due to time conflicts, but I will look forward to the recordings. Overall, I can say that it was definitely an inspiring event that I would recommend at any time!

  22. Franziska M. says:

    Everything was very interesting! Unfortunately, time was a bit tight. Before the event, my planning looked much more extensive than at the event, as too little time was given to socialising etc.. I also didn't have time for the many wonderful presentations, I only made it to the masterclass. It was great, thank you!

  23. Alex says:

    It was really great. We'd love to do it again! There were lots of interesting workshops!

  24. Melih K. says:

    It was a really nicely organised event. Covers a wide range of exhibitions. The venue was easy to access and all the exhibitions were spacious enough to accommodate large number of people

  25. Svenja Büll says:

    Hello, first of all, a big thank you to everyone involved and to the organisation team! Many thanks to all the exhibitor teams who took the time to answer my questions.
    Scanning: I only really experienced/seen this at a few stands. As a visitor, I would also like to be able to scan my counterpart at a company stand - with so much speed dating, it's difficult to remember all the names and it would be fair if we could scan each other ; ) Why? Quite simply: when I write an application afterwards, I want to be able to refer to the conversation with XY.
    I would also think it would be good if the specialist teams had an HR person with them who would realise straight away that I would be very interesting for the company from a specialist point of view. Unfortunately, the title of my degree programme and my background are not so clear, and I have the feeling that I am simply sorted out in normal application procedures because I don't fit into the grid... But at the fair, I received completely different feedback at many stands. Felix from the HH-School also confirmed that it happens that companies don't connect anything with some degree programme titles/they are not familiar with them, and that other people also have experiences like mine - studied, professionally educated, professional experience, willing to familiarise themselves (Felix also says: you can't know everything and already know everything)...
    Dear companies: which training courses are of interest to you? Which certificates are in demand? Every company has different requirements, but they are not always transparent and can determine suitability. I would like to see more information about this on the ITCS. : )
    Otherwise great! Thank you all very much!
    Your Svenja

    I can't remember ever having so much fun at a trade fair before and at the same time getting so much information and great presentations.

    It was really cool. Gladly again

  28. Vladimir says:

    Super great ITCS event! Made a difference! Everyone was in a good mood, wanting to socialise or give advice on how to progress in your career and find new opportunities. All the people and all the booths went out of their way to see if you could join their company. The AI Meetup was also very valuable... Glad I didn't miss the event and the after party... I enjoyed ITCS.

    It was cosy

  31. Kevin Mao says:

    It was a great event. Lots of interesting discussions with the companies and maybe the next employer was there 🙂

  32. Ashok Kumar Bangaru says:

    ITCS Frankfurt 2024 was a standout event, bringing together tech enthusiasts, professionals, and innovators in a dynamic and well-organised setting. The insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and cutting-edge exhibits created an engaging experience from start to finish.

    A special mention goes to the AI Ambition Workshop by Deutsche Börse, which was a true highlight. The masterclass provided a clear and practical understanding of AI strategies, expertly delivered with interactive elements and real-world relevance.

  33. Nehal Qadeer says:

    "My first job fair experience in Germany was more than I expected! There were a lot of companies and a lot of people, but I made an important realisation:

    If you are a job seeker at a job fair, you expect something concrete from the companies, more than just the statement "Yes, we have jobs on our website, please apply there".

    Unfortunately, this was the case with many companies, but some companies really went out of their way to help me. They explained to me exactly what jobs they had and even offered to put me in touch with them:

    "This is the job you're looking for. I am the contact person. Please apply on our website and then email me so that I can take care of your application."

    I was really impressed by this approach and I hope that more companies will take this approach at job fairs.

  54. Andrii says:

    There were really interesting tech talks on the main stage. For instance from Lufthansa Systems and Deutsche Börse. As always, I received useful information and motivation for development. Thanks a lot for organising!

  55. Sathish Babu says:

    This is one of the most remarkable events I have ever experienced. It was wonderfully organised, the teams were very humble and answered all my questions. I am already looking forward to another event in the near future. Thank you.

  56. Gabriel Maricean says:

    It was an incredibly efficient and "productive" day for me. It was great to be able to ask questions directly and make personal contact with different companies. The opportunity to have real conversations and get immediate answers made all the difference. Compared to the usual application process where you just surf online and upload applications, the fair was a welcome change - more interactive, more personal and much more valuable. Absolutely recommendable!

  57. Yoja sri kowtavarapu says:

    I have reached the venue at around 12pm and took the id at the registration then moved towards the job fair.I had a fantastic experience attending the ITCS Job Fair Summit in Frankfurt. It was a great opportunity to connect with leading companies in the IT and tech sector, and to learn more about the latest trends and innovations in the industry. The summit provided valuable insights, and the networking opportunities were exceptional. I look forward to future events and the chance to further engage with the vibrant tech community here. I couldn't attend the after-party as I need to travel long distance hope everyone enjoyed🙂

  58. Eddy says:

    It was a great day. There were many exciting presentations on different stages, sometimes it was difficult to decide which presentation you would rather listen to. The exhibitors were all very nice and you could have great conversations. There was not only talk about careers and the companies, there was also a lot of nerd talk and laughter. There were also plenty of opportunities to switch off and play a little game in between. And there were also several VR stations. Many thanks to everyone who organised the ITCS. It was my first time there and I'm sure it won't be the last. Best regards Eddy

  59. An says:

    I really enjoyed the tech talks and masterclasses-it was inspiring to hear from industry leaders about current trends and challenges in IT. The job fair was well-organised and provided excellent networking opportunities. I also loved the interactive areas like the arcade games and the chillout zones; they added a fun, relaxed vibe to the day.
    Thanks to the organisers for such a well-executed event-I look forward to attending future ITCS events!

  60. Basim Naveed Butt says:

    ITCS Frankfurt was an amazing event and I had an incredible experience being there! I had the opportunity to explore almost all the exhibitors' stalls and collected brochures from those that matched my skills and practical experience. I even applied for a few open job positions. The energy, the networking opportunities, and the tech talks were all top-notch. I really enjoyed exploring the latest trends and connecting with like-minded individuals. Kudos to the team for organising such a seamless event! It's such a helpful platform, especially for international students and job seekers, to connect with potential employers and take a step closer to their dream jobs in Frankfurt. Can't wait to see what's in store for ITCS Darmstadt next year. Highly recommend it! 🙌🎉

    Sher had a good experience .superrr

  62. Jismon Joseph says:

    All participants asked for German level c1/b2, so it was not ideal for me, but I was able to benefit from receiving information about companies.

  63. Iman Dibouche says:

    I had a lot of fun, was able to make contact with various companies such as ovhcloud, medatixx,... etc. The organisation was great. Hope for another year with itcs

  64. Davide Pedergnana says:

    It was very interesting, but the feeling was that there were fewer visitors and fewer exhibitors than last year. It was better for discussions, there was less pressure.

    • ITCS says:

      Thank you very much for your feedback! There were actually around 300 more visitors this year. We reacted to this and tried to spread everything out a little better to make the experience more pleasant and intense - it's great to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere!

  65. Philipp says:

    It was a change from sitting alone in the home office. I'll be back next year 🙂

  66. Ashiful Islam Ridoy says:

    I was thoroughly impressed by the event. The sessions were insightful, the speakers were engaging, and the event was well-organised. Networking opportunities were abundant, and the diverse range of topics made it valuable for attendees at all levels. A top-notch experience-I'm looking forward to the next one!

  67. Akorede Odeyemi says:

    Very insightful event, I was able to interact with several companies and I was advised on how to tailor my applications, which was very useful for me.

  68. Aaliyan Raja says:

    I recently attended the ITCS event, and it was an outstanding experience! The sessions were insightful, the organisation was seamless, and the networking opportunities were invaluable. A big thank you to the ITCS team for creating such an engaging and informative platform. Looking forward to the next one!

  69. Fabian Grünewald says:

    I found the presentations at all the stands very interesting. I had a lot of fun at the ITCS. I also thought the racing simulations were very cool, but unfortunately I had to wait 40 minutes because there were so many people queuing. In general, I really enjoyed my visit and would like to go to another ITCS event.
