Escape the Data Jungle - from the jungle to the mountains - our pre-event for data:unplugged 2025!

Our slammers confidently cut through the thicket of data - with strong statements and fresh perspectives!

Around 120 guests were there live when "Reini" Reinhold Horst Hermann Nawroth opened the evening. After that, it went on in quick succession:

• Margarita Neumüller impressively explained why saying "no" is sometimes the bravest step to take
• Natascha Priemel showed how essential media literacy is in the data age
• Philip Privalov let machines speak - and listen to us

During the break, the legendary currywurst, cold drinks and plenty of space for discussions and networking awaited.

Freshly fortified, round two followed:

• Oliver Ulbrich set the next impulse
• Julia Zukrigl vividly explained why our brains are not always able to cope with data - and what this means for projects
• Barbara Lampl - aka Pink Flamingo - made it clear why AI must not become an end in itself
• Alex Ulbricht addressed the consequences of bias and the responsibility to recognize and avoid it
• Artur König concluded with an appeal: Data must be liberated - for more impact and transparency

An evening full of energy, inspired exchange and great moderation by Herbert Pataky and Dr. Christian Krug.

A big thank you to everyone who made this data:unplugged side event in the Meranti Hall a real highlight!
