swissICT Symposium 2017 focuses on new business models for digital Switzerland
Zum Titelthema "Neue Geschäftsmodelle der digitalen Schweiz" sind für die 37. Ausgabe des SwissICT Symposiums am 13. und 14. November im KKL Luzern 24 Topreferenten verpflichtet worden. Neben Blockchain, Effizienz in Business & Prozessen, Organisation & Arbeitswelt, Businessmodellen und Kommunikation stehen höchst aktuell auch Cybersicherheit und „Künstliche Intelligenz“ auf der Themenliste.
The swissICT Symposium traditionally begins the evening before with a gala dinner including a table talk. According to the organizer, the actual conference program on November 14 promises a lot: Two dozen top speakers will speak in six streams and three keynotes.
swissICT Symposium under the banner of cyber security
"Pascal Lamia, head of the Reporting and Analysis Center for Information Assurance (MELANI), will ask "How secure is (cyber)Switzerland? Lamia will make it clear that cyber attacks have become a real threat. Virtually anything that can be turned into money with little effort is under attack. It doesn't matter whether the company's own infrastructure is being sabotaged or the attackers are targeting data and information. In his keynote speech, the head of MELANIE will provide an overview of the current cyber threats and show how you can protect yourself better with a few simple measures.
Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Blockchain
In a mix of presentations, networking and know-how, the swissICT Symposium conveys current knowledge about the digital transformation and Industry 4.0, which affects the entire economy. For example, one keynote deals with data analysis and data-based services as well as income generation and risk minimization in a complex world. A world that will become even more complicated when, for example, personal customer service becomes effective thanks to machine learning and artificial intelligence, when psychometric factors become important in a recommendation system for multimedia platforms, or when analytics increases automation in tax assessment. Learn more at the swissICT Symposium 2017.
Other important aspects at the symposium are augmented reality and mixed reality, for example with best practices for marketing, media and communication. Blockchain is challenging the traditional banking system and disruptive start-ups are posing new challenges to common production and economic processes. Finally, in a refreshing change of topics, participants will learn "Insights from 14 years of FC Basel" on value-based and team-oriented leadership from former president Dr. Bernhard Heusler.
Swiss ICT Award 2017
The Swiss ICT Award 2017 will also be presented at the swissICT Symposium in the KKL. The award honors particularly innovative, IT-based products launched in Switzerland. Five finalists in each of two categories have been nominated for this important award for the Swiss IT industry. The winners will be selected in Lucerne on November 14, 2017. All finalists are also up for election in the Swiss ICT Public Award, the audience award, which is determined by an online vote by Swiss IT Magazine and an auditorium vote at the award ceremony. The award ceremony is an important meeting point for players from the Swiss ICT industry in research, business and politics.
