About the events

Opening session

CEO Francesca McDonagh opens the event on 30 September centrally in Frankfurt. This opening session will be livestreamed from Germany to the other three hosting sites, ensuring all participants can experience the moment together. Those unable to attend the session in person due to registration limits or operational reasons, can watch it on their device, like a town hall meeting.

Marketplace

The Marketplace is an open, physical space at each location where groups of employees host booths to present various topics that help move us forward as a Group. Your colleagues will showcase different exciting topics at each site – ranging from innovations like Generative AI and operational excellence through automation, to strategic growth initiatives such as the Commercial Excellence Programme and our Product Catalogue, demonstrating how One UI comes to life – and how everyone else can benefit from their experiences. Roam around and exchange thoughts and experiences with the topic experts at the booths.
