TSI invites you to the Welcome Reception TSI Congress 2020 in the HEat restaurant and on the hotel terrace. In the cosy atmosphere, congress participants can have their first talks in a relaxed atmosphere over a glass of wine or beer and small snacks.
Even in times of Corona it is possible to exchange ideas and meet people, if you follow a few basic rules, which we will implement together with you.
The technical part of the first day of the congress ends with our networking reception in the extended area of the conference foyer and hotel lobby, to which TSI cordially invites you. With a glass of wine or beer you can deepen the discussions of the day or make further contacts.
(All welcome! No prior registration required.)
The last few months have shown us that digitalisation remains an unresolved challenge for Germany. The coronavirus is demanding and pushing for the digital revolution, while at the same time a supposedly top technology stock has imploded.
Why has the country been lagging behind in the digital structural change for years? And what needs to be done to make up for lost ground and become competitive again? We want to discuss these pressing questions with an economic historian and marketing expert who, after almost twenty years as a university lecturer, is now devoting himself to the subject as a management consultant.
Prof Klemens Skibicki knows the science, and he knows politics as a member of the ‘Young Digital Economy‘ Advisory Board at the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. As a management consultant, he knows how German companies adopt digitalisation in practice.
Expect an exciting and entertaining evening with scientific depth, historical insights and many suggestions on what to do. The wine evening will be streamed LIVE for the first time and can be followed live by all virtual participants of this year's TSI Congress 2020, naturally with a bottle of red wine from ‘TSI Congress 2020 in a box‘. The discussion will be facilitated by Helena Carmen Felixberger.
By invitation only, onsite in Berlin.
Even in times of Corona it is possible to exchange ideas and meet people, if you follow a few basic rules, which we will implement together with you. Thus, this year again, congress participants can, in a somewhat reduced form, finish off the first congress day at 9.30 pm with a cosy "chill-out and get-together". With the hotel's glass DomLounge overlooking the fascinating Berlin skyline, the perfect location has already been found.
Limited number of participants on site, but no separate registration necessary.
The Museum Island is one of the most important sites of the German capital and one of the most important museum complexes in Europe. It currently consists of five museums. The Humboldt Forum is a museum nearing completion on the Schlossplatz scheduled to open gradually from the end of 2020 and to expand Museum Island with non-European collections. An experienced guide will walk us through the precinct.

The area in which the square is located today was originally marshland. The square was built in 1750 by order of Frederick the Great. It soon became known as the Hackescher Markt.
Some of the buildings surrounding the square were destroyed during the Second World War. The square, located in East Berlin after Germany was divided and now characterised by gaps between buildings, lost importance as the city centre on Alexanderplatz was rebuilt in the 1960s.
After the reunification of Germany and Berlin in 1990, the existing old buildings were renovated and the gaps between buildings closed. Most of the square was redesigned as a pedestrian area. Various dining venues of all kinds settled on the square and in the viaduct arches of the railway station, making Hackescher Markt the starting point of a nightlife district. Today the square doubles as a beer garden and weekly market. A guided tour on foot.
