Short-notice enquiries are still worthwhile \u2013 postponed events regularly free up dates.

In the workshop a small group works on its own processes and leaves with concrete results. Both formats are often combined on one event day \u2013 for example the keynote for everyone, followed by the workshop for the project team.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_7 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Is the keynote tailored to our industry and our systems?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>Yes. Examples, live demos and language follow your industry and your IT landscape \u2013 a digital transformation keynote for banks looks different from one for manufacturing, retail or associations. The briefing call is the basis: the core messages stay the same, the examples come from your world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_8 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Can Thorsten Jekel also moderate a panel or the whole event day?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>Yes.

Thorsten Jekel brings his own laptop, adapters and presenter.
