Clear your schedule, the first panel and speaker lineup just dropped. 🎤💥
We’re officially pulling back the curtain on the visionaries and future makers sharing their voices and insights at the Durst Next Technology Festival.
Get ready for four game-changing sessions designed for the industrial frontier:
🌐 The Printed World | From retail to Olympic installations, the physical world is a printed world. Production leaders go behind the machines to discuss the practical realities, trade-offs, and future of digital transformation at global scale.
🛠️ Building the Next | Showcasing the founders, investors, and builders at the edge of advanced manufacturing. Featuring startups from our TBAN and Kraftwerk networks, this is an argument for what gets built next.
💡 Intrapreneurship Keynote | A next-generation perspective on how legacy companies build future-ready ecosystems from within, unlocking entrepreneurial energy to challenge traditional management planning.
🤖 AI Made Meets Human Made | A BMW industrial designer, a gold-medal artisan cheesemaker, an LVMH-backed AI jewelry founder, and a contemporary mural artist. Four different worlds, one epic conversation about craft and creative intelligence.
