What new horizons does AI have to offer? And how powerful is the blockchain? How can I defend myself against cyberattacks? From 24 to 28 June 2019, the CEBIT d!talk conferences will be dedicated to exploring the future of digital transformation.
The topic-oriented CEBIT Summits represent a key element of the d!talk program, focusing on key technologies for the digital economy, including their impact and application opportunities for selected industries. Speaker topics will include artificial intelligence, the blockchain, cyber security, the Internet of Things and data analytics, but also the future job world, digital marketing, customer relationship management and sustainability.
Safe technologies
Mikko Hypponen, a globally recognised computer security expert and Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, will appear at the event
While spotlighting the technologies shaping digitisation, the Summits will also address the topic of user industries, including the public sector, as well as the healthcare market, retailing and distribution, mobility and financial services.
Around eight months before the event, the first round of speakers has already been confirmed. Mikko Hypponen, a globally recognised computer security expert and Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, will appear at the event. At the Cyber Security Summit on CEBIT Tuesday, 25 June, he will speak on the critical importance of security solutions in a digitised world. “Technology shapes the world, which is why we need safe technologies now more than ever,” he emphasises.

The d!talk scenario comprises the speakers’ stages, the auditorium and workshop rooms.
