Roundtable discussions for exclusive dialogue

Close-up

In 2010, 19 of the top CeBIT Global Conferences' speakers made themselves available for roundtable discussions with a limited number of participants after their respective presentations.

The new roundtable sessions offered a surprise bonus, giving the lucky participants a chance to discuss interesting topics face-to-face with big names like Kevin Eyres of LinkedIn's Managing Director Europe, LindenLab's CEO, Mark Kingdon, or Jon Iwata, IBM's head of worldwide communications, in an intimate setting limited to 10 participants.

To be eligible, CeBIT Global Conferences participants must first apply online, submitting a question on a topic of particular interest to them. The successful candidates first attend the presentation by the relevant speaker in Room 2 of the Convention Center (CC). Immediately afterwards they can join the roundtable session to engage the speaker in a more in-depth discussion of the issues covered.

In 2011, the CeBIT Global Conferences will once again offer roundtable discussions with its top speakers. You can submit your application from January 2011 on.

We will be happy to notify you of the starting date for applications. Please sent a short message with your name and e-mail address to Anke Vollmann. You may find the contact details in the right column of this page. 

These were our roundtable discussions in 2010
