The highlights of the Smart Country Convention 2024
The Smart Country Convention continues to grow. From 15 - 17 October, more than 15,000 participants from politics, business, administration and research are expected at the leading event for the digitalisation of the public sector. This year's edition will impress with an expanded stage programme and innovative networking opportunities.
More stages, new programme formats
There will be a new stage at SCCON this year - the Focus Stage. It will primarily feature speakers who will share their best practices on the topics of smart cities, e-government and digital justice. With a visit from the Bundestag's Digital Committee on 16 October and a tour by the digital ministers of the federal states, #SCCON24 will also present a range of innovative political formats.
In addition to the extended stage programme, there will be a variety of workshops and education offers as well as a live podcast area at the Berlin exhibition grounds for the first time. More than 10 leading industry podcasts have already confirmed their participation. Visitors will be able to listen to the recordings of Tagesspiegel "Checkpoint", "re|Staat digital - Der ÖFIT-Podcast" or the "eGovernment" podcast directly on site via headphones.
Targeted networking for local authorities and companies
With the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) and the network meeting of mayors, the Smart Country Convention 2024 is launching two new networking formats as part of the event. As an EU partner exchange for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the EEN offers new opportunities to make targeted international contacts in European countries.
The network meeting of mayors will take place on 16 October from 10 a.m. to promote targeted exchange between municipalities and cities. As in previous years, the SCCON Career Day on 17 October will provide new networking opportunities in the field of careers with a variety of innovative companies and programme formats.
For in-depth networking, this year's Smart Country Convention also offers visitors the option of using separate meeting cubes and meeting tables in the Networking Area for their own dialogue. These can be booked in advance of the event via the SCCON website.
