And we are off! https://lnkd.in/eCHrETJt After 9 months since the WSIS 2024 Open Consultation Process was launched, new calls for WSIS Stocktaking, WSIS Prizes, special prizes and exhibitions announced, the WSIS 20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 was co-hosted 27-31 May in #Geneva by #ITU and #SwissConfederation and co-organized with #UNESCO, #UNDP, and #UNCTAD. The five-day event brought together multi-stakeholder participants, including government, the private sector, academia, the technical community, and civil society. It covered a wide range of topics, including emerging technologies, WSIS 20, digital inclusion, digital governance processes, the Global Digital Compact, the Summit of the Future, digital health, universal connectivity, sustainable digital transformation, cybersecurity, digital public infrastructure, and many more.

WSIS Forum 2025 planned to take place on 7-13 June 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland.

It’s nice at home and in the office, but I like the idea that there will be another it-sa – Home of IT Security in 2024. That was my fourth edition of this fair. Three days packed with talks have strained the vocal cords. Uh. But it was more than worth it. Our job to minimise the risks and dangers for our economy is not getting any smaller. Finding solutions, exchanging ideas, taking joint action: That was palpable in every hall. Apart from that, the #itsaexpo this year was very well attended. Wow! Concluding the talks. Whether with manufacturers of software solutions, hardware startups or the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI): with all due caution with premature assessments (I am everything but a prophet) I nevertheless had the impression that the signs are pointing in the direction of cooperation and alliances across the domains. Which is good for our SME’s! Which is good for our society and democracy! I was able to absorb all these impressions because we were well looked after by Jörg Perwitzschky and his colleagues at the Bayern Innovativ GmbH stand. Invest in Bavaria - The Business Promotion Agency of the State of Bavaria brought me together with new discussion partners at the Town Hall Meeting thanks to Anissa Nasser and her team. With Lena Kress , Oliver Küch from Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT and Frank Venjakob, host of all of us (!!!) at it-sa – Home of IT Security, we realised perhaps the most attractive ATHENE UP23@it-sa award to date. And not to forget fruitful discussions with Bundesverband IT-Mittelstand e.V. (BITMi) and Lisa Ehrentraut and Stephan Schwichtenberg (pi-lar | enterprise architects ). it-sa – Home of IT Security 2023 is also a sign for setting the course. Just to mention two of them: #OpenSource or the field of #IIoT/#OT security. I take away topics like manageable systems for #SMEs with open source software. Companies/projects at the ownCloud stand have proven the feasibility and practicability. Thx Markus Feilner also for networking in this direction! Topics that we have already taken up with the Strategische Partnerschaft Sensorik e.V. are manifesting. The awareness of looking at OT and IIoT in a generalised way from the perspective of #informationsecurity was carried to our stand. This is just a small excerpt from three jam-packed days. I couldn’t have done it without Sandra Wiesbeck, Judith Strußenberg, Nicole Eckl, and Sabine Hirdina, while Sandra Lanzinger (Betriebswirtin VWA) had our backs. After the fair is before the fair. There is a lot of work on the way there. Let’s go!!!

What a difference thirty years make!   A lot has changed since this picture was taking at Granada Congress & Exhibition Centre during the European Space Agency Council Meeting in 1992. However, we are going to be replicating this installation for next week’s double European Summit. Some of the biggest changes since 1992’s Council Meeting and next week's European Summit, are that next week’s event is going to be much more technology-reliant, transmitted worldwide, and with a wider focus on security and cybersecurity.   What hasn’t changed, however, is the enthusiasm, professionalism, and expertise with which we work here at Granada Congress & Exhibition Centre, qualities which remains a constant throughout the years!   To make the 3rd European Political Community (CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)) Summit a truly tailored event, 500 square metres are going to be transformed: removing 500 seats, installing a large curtain divider and tables in a rectangular layout for the European Heads of State. Around this layout, eighteen simultaneous translation booths will also be installed.   In addition to this, on the Summit’s second day, October 6th, we are hosting the Council of the European Union’s Informal Meeting of Heads of State or Government. For this day, the previous layout will be removed, and in its place a large oval table for 30 people will be installed.   During both days, Floor -3 will be the Press Area: 2,000 square metres set up for a thousand journalist, their technical systems, and worldwide broadcast of the Summit.   All of this is already in the works, as we approach the final days to welcome the European Political Community EU2023ES!

What makes the Swedish Network for Industrial and Urban Symbiosis (SNIUS) unique is that it brings actors with genuine interest to create more symbiotic practices with those with proven capacity and impact to do so. The result is “people symbioses” for more “industrial and urban symbioses” In our next webinar, you will get the chance to learn about how social dynamics make or break symbiotic relationships from experienced practitioners, so that you can replicate the “rights” and avoid the “wrongs” in your organisation or context. Would you miss such an opportunity?

What is my job at Informa promoting a HIMSS conference and how does it work? I've had a tough time explaining to friends and family how my role functions between the two organizations. This piece is a great explainer of the partnership between HIMSS and Informa Markets, and what we're all working to bring to our conference attendees, exhibitors, and partners! #himss24 #conferenceseason #healthtech
