Mark Raben

AI is changing our working world - but how do we maintain humanity, trust and team spirit?
In his keynote, he combines neuroscience with technology trends and shows with a lot of humor and practicality how we can make work more efficient and fulfilling. A journey to the real potentials of AI – and to our own.
5:45 PM – 6:15 PM
Dirk Häußermann
Business Suite Leader – SAP, MEE
How does real transformation succeed – and what role does the SAP Business Suite play in it? In his keynote, he shows how SAP is driving innovation with an "AI first" approach: from data-driven decisions with the BDC to concrete use cases with AI Agents.
He provides insights into the development of the SAP strategy, the role of Signavio, LeanIX, and WalkMe – and explains why successful transformation requires much more than just technology.

Head of Partner Engineering – Google, EMEA
Emily Ryan gives a behind-the-scenes look at Google: Which AI trends are shaping the future from Google's perspective? Which AI use cases are already making a difference today – especially in combination with SAP Analytics?
