Knowledge transfer and networking
Dieter Jandl, Managing Director of addIT, emphasized the importance of the event as a platform for orientation in the fast-moving IT world: "Innovation cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Companies need reliable information and clear strategies. Once again, addSUCCESS has proven to be the ideal framework for the exchange and transfer of knowledge."
