What can you expect?

How digitalisation and AI work on the construction site (and how they don't)

Marvin Rosian opens proceedings from Valoon. In his presentation, he shows how digital solutions and artificial intelligence can function in a demanding practical environment such as a construction site, and where their limitations lie. In doing so, he provides insights into the experiences of Valoon and shows how innovation, practical application and a clear understanding of one's target audience work together.

 

How we revived a historic beer brand

In the second post, Carlo Raphael speaks of the Bergmann Brewery on the revival of a traditional brand. The presentation sheds light on how history, identity, and a modern understanding of brands can be combined and what is needed to give a historic brand new radiance.

 

 

 

Authentic visibility. Strategically conceived, aesthetically implemented

To conclude, there will be a founder pitch from the Dortmund start-up centre. Alicia Helm from aestethic socials discusses how authentic visibility is created and why strategic thinking and aesthetic execution go hand in hand.

 

Networking & exchange

Following the talks, the evening will move into the networking portion. With food and drinks, there will be an opportunity to explore the evening's themes, deepen discussions and make new contacts.
