Moderator on main stage

Focussing on customers and their needs is Fabian's major motivation to collaborate with companies at Detecon's newly founded Digital Engineering Center to shape their digital future. As a passionate founder, his heart beats for innovative business models that involve people and create long-lasting impact. So he founded his first own startup almost four years ago.
Whether in Brand Management at Deutsche Telekom, in Investment Management at hub:raum or at RWE e-Mobility - Entrepreneurial Spirit, enthusiasm and energy have always been his constant companions. Even so much that he still had enough left to it share with the rest of the world as an event moderator and Design Thinking coach. What has had a lasting effect on him beyond his work is the culture and stories of the people he has met on his backpacking trips to the most remote corners of our planet. He loves to document those trips with his camera in detail from unusual perspectives. What might strike you when looking closer is that even today, he has webs between his fingers from his time as a professional swimmer.

7 pm, What does it take to trust a machine?
It is easy to make machines hallucinating guns everywhere. Adversarial examples demonstrate how to influence machine decisions with tiny perturbations that are imperceptible to humans. How should we think of decision making in machines and when can we trust it?
