Together with Microsoft, we are organizing the Generative AI Summit 2026 on April 21 in the impressive premises of Microsoft with a view of the Rheinauhafen and the Kranhäuser in Cologne.

On this day, we will take a very practical look at current AI developments from 3 perspectives: From an enterprise perspective, from Microsoft's perspective as a hyperscaler and from Arvato Systems' perspective as an IT service provider. In several breakout sessions, you will also choose your own content for the day from the focus areas "Agents", "Operations and Governance" or "Scaling AI".

Using best practices, industry insights and concrete case studies, we will show you pragmatic solutions for the specific AI challenges in your company and how to take the next steps in a sustainable manner. We help you to scale AI solutions strategically and efficiently and create measurable added value for your business.

There will also be plenty of time to exchange ideas with each other and with the experts from Microsoft and Arvato Systems.
