    Encore: Future Cities: Where Will YOU Live, Work and Play in 2050?
    2019/10/22
    The buzz: “…to be successful a city has to be open to continuous development, free to evolve and grow with the demands of new times” (P.D. Smith). The world population could reach 9.8 billion by 2050, with nearly 70 percent living in urban areas. Urban infrastructures and public services are already struggling to keep pace. But cities have unlimited potential as dynamic networks that become thriving economic and cultural hubs. Can data and IoT competitively attract businesses and services to build cities where people love to live, work and play? The experts speak. Matt Broffman, City of Orlando, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” (Walt Disney). Mike Eberhardt, SAP Hybris: “Have I gone mad?” “I’m afraid so, you’re entirely Bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret …All the best people are!” (Lewis Carroll). Simone Maienfisch, SAP: “Never give in, never, never, never…” (Winston Churchill).

    Encore: Mega Trends: Trusted Products
    2019/09/24
    The buzz: “Brands are all about trust. Trust is earned in drops but lost in buckets!” (Kevin Plank). About 64% of consumers and companies worldwide buy or boycott a brand – food, components, spare parts, raw materials, chemicals, software, data – solely based on its position and practices on a social or environmental issue that matters to them. Reality check: in a global economy with complex supply networks, the challenge of gaining and maintaining trust grow with the distance between producer and consumer. Can new technologies help create trusted products, leading to higher revenues and customer satisfaction and loyalty? The experts speak. Tony Costa, Bumble Bee Foods: “If you can dream it, you can do it” (Walt Disney). Jeff Howell, SAP: “Chance favors the prepared mind“ (Louis Pasteur). Tom Kohnen, SAP: “Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that [bleep] reflection” (Lady Gaga). Join us for Mega Trends: Trusted Products.

    Mega Trend: Sustainable Energy
    2019/07/23
    The buzz: “We are like tenant farmers, chopping down the fence around our house for fuel, when we should be using nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy—sun, wind, and tide … I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy…I wish I had more years left!” (Edison). Energy keeps the world in motion. The way we generate energy is also in motion: renewable energy – solar and wind – have undergone a tremendous change from a niche technology to widespread adoption. Consumers can now collect energy on their roofs, store it in batteries, use it to power their homes and their electric vehicles. The experts speak.
