Keynotes That Inspired
From the very start, the Opening Keynote by WWF Switzerland delivered goosebump moments: Franziska Tiefenauer and Michael Wolf impressively demonstrated how data analytics can help combat the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity. The event closed on an emotional note with extreme mountaineer Dani Arnold, who – with powerful images and stories from his world of alpine climbing – drew striking parallels between challenges in the mountains and bold decision-making in business.
Real-World Insights From Leading Companies
Participants also greatly appreciated the variety of presentations: speakers from companies such as Roche, PostFinance, Swisscom, AXA, AMAG and Pilatus provided practical insights into their data cases. Whether sustainable data culture, modern architectures or concrete AI and analytics use cases – the program spanned the spectrum from strategic issues to operational solutions.
Partner Exhibition and Networking
Networking opportunities and the partner exhibition turned the day into a true industry meeting point. Among the technology partners present were Amplitude, AWS, Coalesce, Databricks, Datavault Builder, Denodo, Microsoft, Precisely, Snowflake, Stackable, Synabi and Veezoo. The evening concluded in a relaxed atmosphere with live music and continued conversations.
Discussing Future Issues in a Community Atmosphere
“World of Data shows year after year how vibrant and practice-oriented the data community is. What excites me most is the openness with which knowledge is shared and future challenges are discussed in this familiar setting,” said Klaus Blaschek, Founder and Managing Director of b.telligent. “Especially in times when companies depend on data-driven decisions, this kind of exchange is of immense value.”
