AI empowerment has to be on the CEO agenda! And to ensure that we not only preach this, but also live it in the company, around 120 employees came together for three days at CONNECT in Berlin to "Re:think" AI.
The theme of the first day of the 11th edition of our company event was "Only Human". At Experience One, our employees are the central element of our success - reason enough to look back on the year and celebrate special people and their personal courage! In a team game, we had to guess how well we know each other, whether we have actually hit a kangaroo or shared a pizza with a celebrity. There was definitely a lot of laughter for everyone!
Our AI experts have already successfully proven that they can "clone" journalists and entrepreneurs and create their digital twins. On day 2 "Only AI" however, it was up to us to put AI into practice. In groups, we were allowed to become active ourselves and create the ideal AI-based team assistant with the help of various AI tools. This resulted in a wide variety of characters: from the cookie-baking good soul to the "Alice in Wonderland"-inspired colleague with a passion for time recording. In the afternoon, the AI then sent us on an entertaining city rally, lovingly implemented by our AI team, with AI twins of famous personalities who have left their mark on Berlin, such as Marlene Dietrich, Willy Brandt and Udo Lindenberg. A great (team) experience that helped us to understand the technology even better and recognize its potential.
On the third and final day, we took the time to get together in our teams and make the most of the beautiful late summer weather and the time together until the next reunion with individual team activities.
With lots of new input, good food and good conversations, CONNECT 2023 was the ideal opportunity for us all to gather new energy, inspiration and motivation for our work. We are already looking forward to CONNECT 2024!
