The two-day event was held this year for the sixth time and focused on keynotes, presentations and practice-based workshops about forward-looking topics and trends in IT and business transformations and about digital change in business, administration and society. The congress program featured talks from over 40 experts. In addition, the event was supported by multiple partners and sponsors, including IBM, T-Systems and TSG Hoffenheim.

During his speaker session, Strobl demonstrated the challenges and opportunities of digitalization for Baden-Württemberg as a business location.
Dr. Peter Görlich, Managing Director of TSG Hoffenheim, provided exciting insights into the world of professional soccer in his talk on the use of innovative approaches and digital technologies at the Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim.

Furthermore, Andrew Worsley-Tonks, IBM Services, presented a specific case study to demonstrate how companies can make the switch to SAP S/4HANA quickly and with minimized risk by using IBM Rapid Move and the BLUEFIELD^TM approach.
Participants used the time between talks to network in the exclusive atmosphere created by the Print Media Academy Heidelberg.
