The two-day event began with a welcoming address by LANCOM founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Ralf Koenzen. He introduced Constantin von Reden, his successor as Managing Director of LANCOM Systems since March.
This year’s keynote speech was given by Timo Kob, owner of HiSolutions AG, Computer & Network Security Consultant and Professor at the FH Campus Wien in Vienna, Austria. With his lecture “From the coalition agreement to municipal reality: How Germany’s public sector can become digitally sovereign,” he made a connection between the new German government and current developments towards greater digital sovereignty.
The first day of the event focused primarily on strategic topics and market developments for the partners’ managing directors and sales managers.
The second day of the event was led by Robert Mallinson, who as Managing Director of Sales alongside Constantin von Reden forms the LANCOM dual leadership team. The day was tailored to technical specialists and IT professionals, with practical workshops and hands-on sessions to improve technical skills and use new products effectively.
