The best keynote speakers on digital transformation and disruption

15. December 2025 – Mandy Weinand

Digital transformation & disruption – why now is the time to act

Imagine you run a successful company. Sales are good, processes are running smoothly. Then a start-up enters the market with a digital solution that changes everything. Overnight, your business model becomes obsolete. Welcome to the world of digital disruption.

Digital transformation is no longer a trend – it’s reality. And it affects not only IT departments, but the entire company: leadership, culture, customer relationships, product development, organisation. It’s about nothing less than the ability to reinvent yourself – and preferably before others do.

But how can this be achieved? Which technologies really matter? And how can people, processes and innovation be brought into harmony?

Our top speakers on digitalisation will answer precisely these questions – with vision, practical experience and a sense of what is feasible.

These keynote speakers are among the thought leaders of digital transformation:

  • Ömer Atiker
    One of the best-known digital experts in the German-speaking world. With plenty of humour and experience, he shows how digitalisation works in concrete, human and pragmatic terms – and why ‘buzzword bingo’ doesn’t help anyone.
  • Benjamin Bargetzi
    Future strategist, management consultant and inspirational speaker on artificial intelligence, Web3 and digital social models. He takes a holistic and visionary approach to transformation – striking a chord with the business world and the spirit of the times.
