Business NetworkingIt was a great, well-attended, and high energy event - great work team in putting that together, and thank you for having me for the keynote!
Packed halls, engaging conversations, and innovative ideas – that was ECS 2025 in Düsseldorf! As part of the largest European Microsoft partner event, we at Protiviti had the pleasure of welcoming numerous visitors to our booth.
It's a pity that it's already over – I honestly wished the event lasted an entire week. Time flew by. The sessions, the parties, the little moments in between – simply unforgettable. Thank you for all of it!
I really enjoyed the collaborative spirit of this conference, the combination of latest insights of what AI can do, the great networking, and most of all, the fabulous people attending and organizing. And: I learned a lot myself.
Had an awesome opportunity to visit European AI and Cloud Summit at the end of May in Düsseldorf, and what an awesome conference it was! If I could choose one training per year, then this is definitely the one I'd go to.
This week I was delighted to visit the ECS 2025 in Düsseldorf with my team. Additionally, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel, discussing "European AI between USA and China", we explored Europe’s AI ambitions, ethics and innovation on the global stage.
