Digital X is presenting itself as Focus Edition AI under the motto “Ready for AI” in a new format. More focused and exclusive. On September 10, decision-makers in digital business and artificial intelligence will gather at the Confex Center in Cologne. Klaus Werner, Managing Director of Business Customers at Telekom Deutschland and host of Digital X, emphasizes: “Artificial intelligence is more than just a technology trend. It is becoming an accelerator in all areas of the economy. Digital X offers guidance and shows how companies can use AI to create value for themselves.”

“Cloud and security solutions are inseparable from AI as a technical basis or foundation. That’s why we’re also giving these topics space in the Focus Edition,” Werner continues. “As an additional topic, we’re focusing on the public sector, including mission-critical communications.”

Digital solutions, masterclasses, and expert knowledge—exclusive and focused across 10,000 square meters of the Confex Center.
