_ Why AI will be your most valuable skill of the decade in 2025

AI is no longer a tool. It is a force multiplier that transforms how we produce, sell, and work every day. While others are still debating, you are taking action.
Those who act now will gain the upper hand for the next decade. Not through theory, but through concrete implementation. Not through complicated technology, but through immediately applicable solutions.
You have a choice:
follower or creator?
Spectator or doer?
Over 600 decision-makers from small and medium-sized businesses are coming to Dresden. Over 33 experts will show you not just the “what,” but the “how.” From the Otto Group with 50,000 employees to a Saxon machine manufacturer, they all have one thing in common: they have successfully implemented AI. Without a degree in computer science.

What's in it for you?

After two days, you will have a clear plan for introducing AI into your company. You will know exactly where to start and what steps to take next. No more guesswork—just a concrete roadmap for your business.
To the Agenda

_ What you take home with you after 2 days

You will not only go home with knowledge, but with a new way of thinking. Instead of seeing AI as a threat, you will use it as your strongest ally. And you are not alone in this.
  • Your personal AI implementation plan

    A step-by-step roadmap with specific tools, timelines, and initial automations that you can implement starting Monday.
  • A network of 600+ like-minded individuals

    Connect with other decision-makers from small and medium-sized businesses who share your challenges and find solutions together—even after the convention.
  • A new perspective on your business

    You no longer think, “Will AI replace me?” but rather, “How can I use AI to become unbeatable?”—a mindset that changes everything.
  • Specific contacts for your AI journey

    Speaker contacts, local experts, and service providers who will help you with implementation—no empty promises, just genuine support.
