On Monday, January 19, from 8:30 to 11:00 am we will join forces with our long-term partner Hotwire, and return to the homey Heimatmuseum—the “home of belonging”—for a breakfast reception and the presentation and discussion of our new joint report on Agentic Organizations, to be released on that very day. Expect cool AI, warm humans, live music, and the best cake in town!
