Klassische Suchmaschinen finden unsere Websites. Doch wie sieht es mit ChatGPT, Copilot und anderen KI Systemen aus?

In unserem TechTalk zeigen Steffen Hofbauer und Marc Cedric Brasche, wie sie bei BASF das Thema Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) angehen und welche Rolle die technische Umsetzung dabei tatsächlich spielt. Sie werfen einen Blick darauf, wie KI Systeme Webinhalte finden und verarbeiten, warum klassische SEO Grundlagen weiterhin entscheidend sind und wo GEO darüber hinausgeht.

Außerdem geben sie Einblicke, wie sie mithilfe von GEO Analytics ihre Sichtbarkeit in KI generierten Antworten analysieren, welche Erkenntnisse sich daraus gewinnen lassen und vor welchen Herausforderungen sie dabei stehen.

Subject area: AI, Generative AI / LLMs

Frauen, die Führung in der Tech Branche übernehmen, stehen oft vor einer stillen Frage: Führe ich so, wie es vor mir gemacht wurde? Oder gibt es einen Weg, der zu mir und meinem Team passt?

Die Antwort liegt nicht nur im Führungsstil selbst. Sie liegt in der Struktur der Zusammenarbeit. Teams, die gemeinsam definieren, wie sie miteinander arbeiten wollen, brauchen weniger Kontrolle und agieren eigenständiger. Genau dadurch entsteht mehr Raum für echte Führung: Weiterentwicklung, Vertrauen und Gestaltung.

Vanessa Dinger zeigt, wie wir Methoden aus dem Projektmanagement dafür nutzen können, diese Struktur zu schaffen: eine, die Teams unterstützt, Verlässlichkeit schafft und agil genug für Veränderungen bleibt.

Für alle, die Führung nicht kopieren, sondern gestalten wollen.

AI-Native Enterprise: How Women Leaders Are Driving Tech-First Transformation at Scale

Why this topic matters now:

As AI becomes central to operations and core business in finance & insurance, companies face massive transformation challenges – from legacy systems, regulatory compliance to cross-market scale and people/technology alignment.

Women leaders bring unique strengths: ethical perspective, people-centered leadership, cross-cultural empathy, and ability to unify teams at scale.

There is a critical need to share real-world success stories and frameworks, especially in regulated industries like financial services – yet these are seldom represented.

Key Takeaways

  • Leadership
  • Driving cultural adoption – strategies for change management so employees and partners embrace AI agents as trusted coworkers
  • Why post-acquisition transformation is essential before agentic AI can succeed – and what happens if it is ignored

Digitale Transformation braucht mehr als Technologie: Sie braucht vielfältige Perspektiven, vernetztes Denken und die Fähigkeit, Menschen mitzunehmen. Gerade Frauen bringen wichtige Stärken ein, die in männerdominierten Strukturen oft zu wenig sichtbar oder gehört werden. Dieser Vortrag ermutigt Frauen in der IT, präsent zu sein, ihre Stimme einzubringen und den digitalen Wandel aktiv mitzugestalten. Denn unsere Perspektiven sind kein Zusatz, sondern ein entscheidender Hebel für erfolgreiche Transformation.

Von der ersten Anforderung über die Entwicklung bis zum Testing: Künstliche Intelligenz verändert zunehmend, wie digitale Produkte entstehen. In dieser interaktiven Masterclass zeigt Lara Uphoff anhand praxisnaher Beispiele aus IT-Transformationsprojekten, wo KI bereits heute unterstützen kann, welche Chancen und Herausforderungen daraus entstehen und wie sich die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Business und IT künftig verändert.

Life and the world of work are constantly challenging us. Change, uncertainty and high demands are part of everyday life - but why do some people remain stable even in turbulent times and even emerge stronger from crises, while others falter?

Der Schlüssel liegt vor allem in der Fähigkeit, sich selbst wirklich zu kennen. Oft steuern uns unbewusste Überzeugungen oder innere Antreiber wie „Sei perfekt!“ oder „Streng Dich an!“, ohne dass wir es bemerken. Sie halten uns im Autopiloten, rauben Energie und können uns langfristig ausbrennen.

In dieser Masterclass erforscht ihr gemeinsam mit Marina Wittenzellner, warum Selbstkenntnis der Dreh- und Angelpunkt für ein gesundes, leistungsfähiges (Arbeits-)Leben ist – und wie wie ihr gezielt Resilienz aufbaut, um auch unter Druck stabil und wirksam zu bleiben.

Freut euch auf neue Perspektiven, alltagstaugliche Strategien und wertvolle Impulse, die euch helfen, die Herausforderungen der aktuellen Zeit nicht nur zu meistern, sondern sogar daran zu wachsen.

Necessary prior knowledge: None

Subject area: Career & diversity, self-management & leadership

You already use coding agents, but are you getting the most out of them? In this hands-on session, you will discover loop engineering: a way to improve agentic coding by combining metrics, conditions, and feedback into a continuous improvement system. After covering the essentials of how agentic coding works, you will experiment with an example on your own machine and see how each iteration makes the solution more capable, reliable, and autonomous. Leave with a practical method for moving beyond one-shot prompting and building coding workflows that improve themselves.

Become an exhibitor

Over 500 exhibitors are already successfully recruiting at ITCS events!

We unite tech conference, career fair and Festival into a unique event format - lively, inspiring and full of possibilities. Our trade fairs create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere in which you as an exhibitor can network with Tekkies in an informal setting.

FAQ - If you are still unsure: Take a look, you may already find the answers here. Solution.

The ITCS is aimed at professionals and students with IT experience. 

Please noteThis is not a training fair. Participation from the age of 18.

The ITCS takes place at Messe Frankfurt, Hall 1.2. Access is via the "City entrance".

There are public car parks in the immediate vicinity, for example in the Skyline Plaza shopping centre. 

You can get off the underground directly in front of the door at the Festhalle/Messe stop.

NoteIf you take the S-Bahn to the Messe station, you will have to walk at least 15 minutes as it is on the other side of the Messe. We recommend the underground.

Many companies post their current jobs online in their profiles in advance, so you can find out in advance. You can also find all jobs at a glance in our Job listings. A visit to the stand is worthwhile even without a specific tender.

A good place to start is to take a look at the company profiles. There you will not only find the current jobs, but also exciting insights into the corporate culture, benefits and sometimes even impressions of everyday working life. This way, you can get an idea of the company before the fair and decide which companies you would like to talk to.

You can also use the chat date to book appointments in advance. As soon as the programme is online, you can make a note of interesting talks in your calendar. Also keep an eye on the events page, where you will regularly find new information and updates.

Of course, your visit to the ITCS costs you nothing! 

This is made possible by our exhibitors, who finance the trade fair. For you, this means: simply come, discover and enjoy the day carefree.

Only external services such as the cloakroom or bistro are not free, but everything to do with the ITCS is.

With the Chat Date, you can easily get in touch with exciting companies. About our Chat Date Form send us your CV and select which companies you are particularly interested in.

We will forward your documents as a speculative application to your chosen company. If your profile matches, they will get in touch with you and arrange an interview directly at the ITCS. This way, you start the day at the fair with the best contacts and are one step ahead of other applicants.

All stages at the ITCS are freely accessible, so you don't need to register to attend a lecture. It is best to arrive about five minutes before the start so that you can secure a good seat in peace. If you are late, you can of course still join us, just make sure you disturb the others as little as possible.

After each presentation, there will be a Q&A with the speakers where you can ask your questions. And if you fancy a longer conversation or discussion, you may even be invited directly to the speakers' stand or the networking area.

You must register in advance for a masterclass. Registration is usually activated during the week of the trade fair - you can then simply add it to your already booked ticket. You will also receive an extra email from us with all the information.

Please notePlaces are very limited and therefore book up quickly. Only book if you can really take part and have the necessary prior knowledge.

If you don't get a place, it's still worth taking a look directly on site: with a bit of luck, there are still a few places left.
