Leaders Dialog
Zürich, September 9-10, 2025

Exchange of Experiences for Corporate Senior Executives

From time to time leaders should change perspectives. Leaders Dialog is designed to facilitate networking among senior executives discussing digital transformation. The format provides valuable and strategically relevant insights and inspiration. Cutting-edge content, exclusive contacts, maximum efficiency and trusted confidentiality.

Master Digitalization

Data is key in the connected and AI-driven 4.0 economy, but the potential of Data and AI for strategies, business models, practices and products is not fully unlocked yet. How do we make sense of data? What are the impacts of AI for strategy and operations? How do we find the right suppliers, partners and architecture? How do we implement a successful data strategy?

Networking

Exchanging views and experiences among corporate senior executives is the core of Leaders Dialog. Participants can use our Networking App to identify potential dialog partners and arrange meetings for the event with just a few clicks. Up to 4 hours per day can be used for networking sessions.
