Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the way we live, work and interact. Infineon is actively shaping this change by utilising, supporting and empowering AI to create a more sustainable and digital future. But here's the challenge: can AI really help us decarbonise the world, or does its own hunger for data and energy threaten to make things worse? In this talk, Infineon will explore how they are addressing this contradiction - by using AI not only to optimise their own operations, but also to enable greener technologies for their customers.
Did you ever dream of escaping to space? Sending at least a piece of you might be easier than you think...
Markus Kissler-Patig will introduce the European Space Agency and in particular its Science Programme - and the career opportunities it offers.
After a 20-30min presentation, there will be plenty of opportunity to interact and ask questions.
Every second, the Large Hadron Collider creates an avalanche of collisions. We capture it, process it to unveil discoveries about our universe. From sparks in a detector to scientific breakthroughs-everything starts with managing data effectively.
And we don't do this alone. The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid connects 160 institutes and thousands of scientists worldwide. We share openly-our raw data, our publications, even our technologies. We build networks with partners in order to develop tomorrow's tools together.
The future? Bigger, faster, smarter. We'll keep supporting 15,000 scientists, while exploring AI, quantum, and while establishing new policies that will continue to enable open and ethical research. And we're training the next generation too-students, interns, PhDs. I'm proof that CERN isn't only for physicists. The doors are open for anyone ready to shape the future.
Firstly, there is an overview of ADAC and ADAC IT (AIS) and its role as an enabler of ADAC products & services. This is followed by an overview of processes & IT solutions in the focus area "Help & Vehicle". This is followed by a presentation of selected innovative projects and solutions in this area. The innovative projects include (vehicle) data-driven digital services and the use of AI in vehicle testing.
What is wealth, and how is it shaping the world? This talk explores the global wealth game - who owns what, how fortunes shift, and the vast industry that has emerged to manage it. For anyone curious about how technology meets private wealth, this talk offers a fresh perspective on the world of finance.
What happens when a steep career path leads straight to the abyss? Dr Thomas Reinbacher worked at NASA, Amazon, Google - and then spent over 200 days in a psychiatric ward. Today he talks openly about his breakdown and the road back.
A ruthlessly honest talk about burnout, depression and why mental health is not a feel-good add-on, but a tough survival strategy at work. For all those who want to lead, perform - and not lose themselves in the process.

Let us delve into the intersection of AI, user engagement, and sustainable mobility solutions!
You are an expert in your field - and yet there are moments when you play small, doubt yourself or adapt in order to fit in?
In this impulse you will learn:
✨ How to reflect on your self-image and position yourself strongly internally
✨ Which tools help you to make clear decisions and set boundaries
✨ How to deal confidently with subtle (or overt) challenges in everyday working life
My aim is to give you the courage and tools to take up your space with confidence - without bending.
What happens when you stop asking for permission - and instead start acting boldly? In this inspiring talk, Luboslava Uram shares her personal and professional journey: from the lecture hall, where she felt out of place, to the top of international technology teams.
With clear principles - curiosity, courage, community and consistency - she shows how women can take on leadership roles even when the structures are not designed for them.
An invitation to act boldly, to make a real impact - and to make a clear decision: don't wait. Go ahead.
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?
The decisive factor is not just how much we achieve or how disciplined we are, but how well we understand ourselves. If you know your inner psychological patterns, beliefs and needs, you can act more consciously, set boundaries more clearly and remain stable and able to act even in difficult moments.
Look forward to new perspectives, strategies suitable for everyday life and valuable impulses that will help you to strengthen your own resilience and not only master challenges, but even grow from them.
Technical professions need diversity - and women bring an indispensable perspective to the table. However, the cliché that technology is "not for women" still persists. This presentation is about why it is so important right now that more women become visible in technical fields, contribute their strengths and support each other. Because only through networks, exchange and mutual support can we create long-term change - for ourselves and for future generations.
Tech is full of brilliant women - but too many are still working twice as hard to be heard, trusted, and taken seriously. The pressure to prove, the constant balancing act between expertise and visibility, and the unspoken rules of male-driven environments leave many women drained, undervalued, or questioning their place.
In this talk, Dr Sara Hegy - award-winning scientist, executive coach, and expat founder - will show women in tech how to shift from overperforming to leading with presence and influence. You'll discover how to turn your vision into your edge, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build the confidence to lead unapologetically. Expect practical tools, refreshing honesty, and empowering strategies that help you thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments without sacrificing yourself.
This session is for women in tech who are ready to break the code - to lead not by fitting in, but by standing out*.
*⚠️ Please come ready to be inspired by stories.
This talk requires curiosity and an open heart.
Many companies have great diversity statements and initiatives, but in everyday life, individuals often feel powerless in the face of structural challenges. What can I do if I don't sit on the board, have no influence on recruitment and don't control the budget? In this talk, Thao would like to give tips for everyday working life on what you can do as an employee to make more people feel included in your own environment. Because if we all take small steps, many things will change in a big way.
LLM systems are not only "jailbroken" - they can be compromised indirectly via websites, PDFs, emails and RAG data. Cedric "Morpheus" Moessner shows the current attack patterns: prompt injections, prompt leaks, spec evasion and data/RAG poisoning. We separate jailbreaks vs. indirect injections, look at typical attack surfaces (retrievers, tools, plugins) and show compact countermeasures.
This is LLM-AppSec, so to speak, and a completely new area of IT security
The presentation highlights the particular challenges and innovative solutions of information security in the banknote industry. The focus will be on the protection of sensitive production data, modern defence mechanisms against cyber attacks and the importance of digital security for trust in physical money. What are the future challenges in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment?
In search of the right areas of application for AI in complex, extensive software: Where can AI provide useful support - and where does additional effort arise?
Firstly, there is an overview of the ADAC Data & Analytics platform and its role as the basis for data-driven decisions. It then shows how the platform is being continuously developed: from the classic BI and reporting approach to forecasting, supported by machine learning and AI models. Operational data from the past is used to better assess future developments. Specific examples - for example from ADAC Versicherung AG - are used to explain how forecasts are created, embedded in the architecture and used in sales.
This presentation contrasts the key risks of AI - such as loss of quality and new job profiles - with the enormous opportunities it offers: radical efficiency, scalability and personalised content formats. You will gain a clear perspective on how generative AI is changing content strategy and why people must remain at the centre of it.
A successful start often determines long-term success when working with customers. In this presentation, Mahr EDV shows why self-reflection plays a central role, especially in onboarding. Participants will learn how a conscious examination of their own strengths, values and behaviour not only increases their personal impact, but also creates the basis for genuine customer enthusiasm.
The local-first paradigm promises transformative benefits - user-owned data, seamless offline capabilities, and instant interactions. But how do you get started? In this lightning talk, we'll cover the key concepts and show you how to begin your local-first journey.
Not every new trend in web development is destined to stick, but the local-first paradigm feels different. It's about more than offline capability - it's a shift towards user-owned data, instant interactions, and apps that work seamlessly, regardless of network conditions.
This talk offers a short, approachable introduction to building local-first applications today, covering core principles, architectures, and tools.
This Tech Talk is all about the future of SAP consulting. CONSILIO shows how S/4HANA transformation projects work, which phases are crucial and what new opportunities are opening up for consultants as a result of technological developments. The question of what role AI will play in this and whether it will become a real game changer is particularly exciting. In an interactive dialogue, we will discuss which skills will be in demand in the future and how human strengths combined with digital tools can make projects successful.
Orbem is industrialising MRI to reveal hidden knowledge in food and health. Unlike typical software scale-ups, their platform is a very cross-functional physical machine, creating unique challenges in architecture, integration, and development. Join them to learn how they are building a distributed software system and a cutting-edge testing framework to scale their technology and solve global challenges.
LLMs are fundamentally changing creativity and revolutionising how we solve problems. They simplify complex tasks, open up new forms of expression and accelerate innovation in a wide range of areas - from idea generation to product development. Participants will gain insights into how BMW is using LLMs to enhance human capabilities and drive innovation.

Whether our work and life are healthy, fulfilling and effective is often decided at precisely this point:
The ability to really know ourselves.
Many people believe they know exactly who they are. However, inner beliefs and drivers such as "Try hard!" or "Be perfect!" often control us as if on autopilot. If we are not aware of them, they cause stress and prevent us from realising our potential.
In this masterclass you will learn ...
Materials required: None
In the 1960s, mainframe computers dominated the market-they were huge, expensive, and accessible to only a few. In the 1970s and 1980s, personal computers arrived and turned a purely technical decision into a strategic business decision:
Which system, which equipment, which training?
Today, we are once again at such a turning point - with the leap from classic to generative AI. In this presentation, you will learn why AI is not an ordinary tool, why the choice of the "operating system" for artificial intelligence must be well thought out both from a regulatory and strategic perspective, and why digital sovereignty plays a central role in this.
AI Strategy Institute will shed light on how this complex decision can be broken down in such a way that it becomes practical for every company - and what specifically needs to be done. After all, we have been here before. Today, almost everyone uses a computer. Perhaps the step into the AI era is easier than you think.

Most organisations brag about diversity and stop there.
Visionary leaders go many steps further - they know that inclusion is what transforms differences into creativity, trust, and results. In this masterclass, Dr Sara Hegy - award-winning scientist and executive coach - reveals how senior leaders can move beyond compliance to build cultures where diverse teams become engines of innovation.
Expect practical tools, exercises, powerful insights, and a no-fluff approach that will leave you with a clearer path to leading across differences - and unlocking the full potential of your people.
*⚠️ This session is not for everyone. Come only if you're willing to play a little, laugh, learn deeply, and lean into openness. This masterclass requires giving the trainer permission to lead you through an honest, politics-free experience of what true leadership feels like.
Materials needed: There will be a clinic, a focused, group problem-solving session section at the end where I coach live 1-3 real cases (e.g., "my first manager hire is failing," "team is burned out") and leave each with 2-3 concrete actions each. Time-boxed, practical, outcome-oriented. 🙂 Please submit your cases here: https://tellonym.me/sarahegy
In software development, team leaders and product owners often find their priorities in conflict - balancing developer wellbeing with the pressure of fast product delivery.
