The tech world is gathering at this year’s Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal from the 5th to the 8th of November. It’s a huge event with 70,000 expected participants. SKC consulting will attend, alongside CEOs and founders of global companies and innovative start-ups.

Lately the conference has been publicly criticized for its aggressive sales & marketing tactics. On Twitter and co., the European tech community debated the event’s – often misleading – practices to get people and start-ups to attend, e.g. toying with the number of attendees from a certain country that have purportedly signed up to buy event tickets to actually showing logos from startups who haven’t registered.

Nevertheless, many still consider the summit to be one of the best annual tech events, excellently executed in terms of networking potential, entertainment and speaker quality. Hence, the event will provide its visitors a broad and deep insight into digital developments and will also address societal relevant issues, such as how to shape a human future with technologies.

“I am flying to Lisbon to collect inspiration and to exchange forward-looking ideas. I especially look forward to the HealthConf on Thursday, where protagonists from the industry will discuss Digital Health innovations. However, one issue was already very significant last year: Used technologies can change from one day to another in the fast-paced and constantly changing world we are living in.” says Heike Kielhorn-Schönermark, founder and managing director of SKC consulting.

SKC consulting advises health insurances, pharmaceutical and medtech companies in all questions regarding the digitalizing of health care. SKC’s 8th Hannover Strategy Day took place at the CEBIT in June this year: Digital Health Summit at the CEBIT 2018.
