Six months to go until the start of the Smart Country Convention 2025! The main topics of the SCCON have already been finalized: Smart City, Smart Region and E-Government, while this year's focus will be on smart infrastructure, IT security and artificial intelligence (AI).

Interested parties who want to help shape the SCCON program can now apply. The Call for Speakers offers experts the opportunity to present their ideas and projects on one of the seven conference stages.

Call for Speakers: Submit innovative ideas now

Pioneers from politics, administration, science and business are invited to submit their projects. We are looking for presentations that address this year's key themes of smart infrastructure, cybersecurity or AI in the public sector. Speakers will have the opportunity to present their solutions for digital cities and government to a broad audience in 15-minute sessions.

Kevin Helmuth, Project Manager Trade Fairs and Events at Bitkom Servicegesellschaft mbH, emphasizes: "Our Call for Speakers is aimed at designers and researchers from all fields and levels of the public sector. After more than 200 submissions last year, we are looking forward to many new ideas and speakers on our stages in 2025.
