An overview of all sessions, sortable by the four topics.

David Mattin has been researching what is to come for decades. And about what that does to us: With our economy, our society – and our relationships. The British researcher is one of the most renowned and distinguished futurists. At get connected, he will dive into the topic of global supply chains for the first time.

The uplifting finale. Drawing on her many years of experience in leadership roles, Yvonne shares her perspective on the challenges and opportunities of these turbulent times. That's how we keep up the pace. At the end, she invites us to take away two or three concrete ideas or approaches for our daily lives.

Supply chain, customs, and trade compliance have long been cost drivers. Today, they hold the greatest levers for growth, resilience, and market access. Which is why we need to do things very differently in the future. And now, finally, are able to as well.

For those who want quick input. Coffee from the airpot dispenser. 3 valuable insights even before the program on stage. And THE meeting point for everyone interested in free trade agreements, origin of goods, and preferences. Just pop in quickly. Tip for slowing down: If you wish to sit back and savor your barista specialty in peace, visit the coffee lounge.

A one. A two. A one, two, three, four. Timing is everything. Let it rip. A little practice for everyone. With pro drummer Tim Stahlschmidt.

One-on-one after the presentation on stage. Our speakers have confirmed that they will come to this Meet the Speaker area during the 30 minutes after their talks or keynotes. Let's try this out. Instead of the sometimes a little tedious Q&A sessions directly after the keynotes.

The large presentation room 0.2 will be transformed into a lounge. There will only be coffee and conversations. Barista specialties and small pour-over brews for the deep-dive pace. Unwind and engage in good conversations. Always. Throughout the entire day. From 8:30 in the morning until the end of the stage program. (Speed tip: Airpot dispensers for a quick caffeine infusion are available in the exercise room at the exit to the garden.)

Experiencing free trade: With currently more than 40 free trade agreements – including the agreement with Mercosur applicable as of May 1 – the European Union has an extensive trade network. Especially in the context of growing uncertainty, free trade agreements contribute to stability and economic resilience. 15-minute impulse in the "exercise room".

Being a user in times of AI. How does interaction change when software is operated solely via prompt in the future? Or thinking further: What if we no longer tell the software what to do, but instead, the software tells us what it needs from us? 15 early minutes to wake you up.

Once it’s happened, there’s no missing it. But how close is the next tipping point if it is still ahead of us? The climate crisis has taught us the concept of tipping points. But don’t we also sense that something similar is looming when it comes to AI? Sort of an “AI tipping point”? A highlight talk this early in the day – not to be missed.

“Can you show us what you're up to at the moment?” We've heard this wish for insight into our software lab many times. That's why there’s a new format this year: Four stalls with prototypes, studies, and "crazy ideas". Including the people who develop these products. PLUS: Customs brokers from AEB’s large network. Check it out, engage in conversation, experiment.

We weren't sure for a long time whether the garden remodeling would be finished on time. That’s how an idea was born: Just let everyone dig. With remote-controlled mini diggers in an oversized sandbox. High-speed digging. Or meditative slow-mo. Embrace the pace. Just for fun. Spoiler: The garden will be finished...
