Record attendance at workshops and presentations at the topsoft 2019 IT trade fair
The Swiss IT trade fair topsoft is increasingly becoming a hotspot for digital expertise. The two-day event in August boasts a record number of workshops and presentations. Experts from Switzerland and abroad ensure high quality. The program surpasses everything that has gone before, according to the organizers.
"We are delighted with the rich and balanced program," explains trade fair organizer Cyrill Schmid. The intensive preparations have paid off in terms of both quantity and quality of the workshops and presentations. The line-up of speakers and experts alone is worth a visit to the trade fair and equals the volume of a trade conference.
Digitization moves companies
Anyone who wants to move successfully in digitalization needs solutions, knowledge and specialists. All three components can be found at the IT trade fair topsoft 2019. The fact that the new venue is the Umwelt Arena Schweiz, of all places, may be a coincidence, but it fits perfectly with the current concerns of society and companies. "SMEs do not move in a vacuum. They are in direct contact with digital developments, the social environment and economic goals," says Cyrill Schmid, explaining the positive exhibitor response to the new trade fair location.
It all comes down to know-how
Hardly any other event offers such a wealth of knowledge on the subject of digitization as topsoft. All presentations, panels, workshops and expert discussions can be attended free of charge on both days of the trade fair. The knowledge content ranges from concrete application possibilities throughout the company to current topics of digitization and practical recommendations for action. The future of work will be covered as well as the latest findings on artificial intelligence, virtual reality, data protection, digital ethics and much more.
Highlights for every taste
Which program items deserve special attention depends on individual needs. The agony of choice from the 27 presentations and 11 workshops at topsoft 2019 is great. For example, there is a choice of presentations by "Bionicman" Michel Fornasier, digital ethics expert Cornelia Diethelm, online pioneer Jörg Eugster or Swico CEO Judith Bellaiche. Workshops will be offered on topics such as digital presence on the web, Google online marketing, future design and many more.
"August becomes the digital bliss month".
For the topsoft organizers, a very good year is already shaping up for the traditional Swiss IT trade fair, explains Cyrill Schmid: "With the Umwelt Arena Schweiz, we have succeeded in making an important change to an optimally fitting format. This is also shown by the strong demand from exhibitors, speakers and workshop organizers. If the number of visitors is still right, August will be Switzerland's digital bliss month."
