Award ceremony again held virtually
Instead of the usual gala dinner, this year's awards ceremony was held as a digital livestream, as in the previous year. "When we were planning this event, we weren't quite sure whether it would be safe to celebrate in the usual way," says presenter Margit Lieverz. "So, a few weeks before the live award ceremony, we sent the award winners a mysterious package with instructions not to open it until the event was live." As well as some sparkling wine and nibbles to help celebrate the award, the package contained the award certificate itself, which revealed the place that the company had been awarded. b.telligent was entered in the Big Data Consulting category and was delighted to learn that it had picked up the silver award.
"This is the second time in a row that b.telligent has won an insider award. And we are over the moon!" said Sebastian Amtage, founder and CEO of b.telligent, who opened the award package on behalf of all his colleagues. "The shortlisting by the expert jury and selection by the readers' votes means a lot to us.

Munich, June 17, 2026—Last week, the data community once again came together for World of Data in Munich. The message from the renowned data conference on the use of AI was clear: After numerous pilot projects, artificial intelligence (AI) must now become firmly embedded in companies and deliver measurable business value. Around 650 participants from the DACH region discussed how this can be achieved—and why the human factor needs to move into focus—at Munich’s Nockherberg. The conference centered on use cases, current project experience, and insights that attendees can apply to their own initiatives.
Munich, May 21, 2026—Artificial intelligence is no longer a topic for the future. It is already changing how companies work, make decisions, and grow. That is why World of Data (WoD) in Munich on June 11, 2026, will put AI front and center. Bilal Zafar, AI expert, author, and well-known speaker, will kick off the event. With his opening keynote, “Once-in-a-Century Opportunity: AI,” he will set the stage for a full conference day dedicated to data, analytics, and the latest developments in AI.
Munich, May 13, 2026 – More channels, more content, more data – but less time: marketing is under pressure in 2026. Many teams respond by adding yet another tool. World of Data (WoD) on June 11, 2026 in Munich takes a different approach: the core thesis is that MarTech only unfolds its full value when data, processes and teams are intelligently connected. At WoD, guests will see, based on customer projects from DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga, Tonies, Mytheresa, OTTO and Cornelsen, how AI and analytics are already delivering real impact in day-to-day marketing.
