CFO Roundtable 
April 20th 2026 l 11:00 am - 01:00 pm, Language: German

Technologies, rising cost pressure and increasing regulatory requirements are fundamentally reshaping the role of CFOs. At the same time, the strategic use of data is becoming a decisive lever for efficiency, transparency, effective steering and sustainable growth. 
Together, with our experts and your CFO colleagues from the manufacturing industry, we will discuss how CFOs can actively shape technological change and turn them into concrete opportunities for their companies. Our CFO Roundtable will provide a practical exchange of experiences in a trusting atmosphere. 

Target group: CFOs in manufacturing, automotive and electrical industries as well as the energy sector 


Cyber Security Roundtable 
April 21st 2026 l 11:00 am - 01:00 pm, Language: English

Cyber threats are increasing rapidly - in IT, OT and IoT environments. At the same time, new regulations such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act are increasing the pressure on companies. As a result, security strategies need to be rethought and implemented holistically in order to reliably protect complex technologies and processes.   
Engage in an open and trusted setting with leading experts to explore these developments, share insights on current challenges, and discuss forward-looking solutions. 

Target group:  Experts in cyber security, IT security, production and Industry 4.0 


Legal Roundtable 
April 21st 2026 l 01:30 pm - 03:45 pm,  Language: German

Together with our experts and leading managers from industry legal and compliance departments, we would like to focus in particular on the growing demands on in-house legal teams. Topics such as trade compliance, export control, sanctions law and legal issues in the defence environment are increasingly presenting legal departments with complex regulatory, organizational and strategic challenges. Against this background, we would like to discuss practical solutions, best practices and current developments and create space for an open professional exchange.
