BIG BANG AI FESTIVAL
We make SMEs fit for the future!
The B2B-Event on the 11. and 12. of September 2024 in Berlin
Welcome to the BIG BANG AI FESTIVAL - Germany's pioneer for artificial intelligence in SMEs.
At a time when AI is revolutionising the world of work and setting new standards, it is crucial to educate yourself.
In keynotes, panel talks and workshops, we will show you how to implement artificial intelligence in your company in a targeted manner.
Yuval Harari meets BIG BANG AI FESTIVAL in Berlin
The guests of the BIG BANG AI FESTIVAL will experience the world-renowned thought leader Yuval Harari on September 12th. Nine years after "Homo Deus", the next Harari work that has the potential to trigger a debate will be published. In his new book "Nexus", he poses the pressing questions, his theses are sometimes provocative, but always stimulating and profound.
No wonder we have developed a new format for our Berlin event: "Harari & Friends". After the exclusive talk with the international star, which we record on video in Tel Aviv in advance for scheduling reasons, we discuss the Israeli historian's theories "in the second half" with brilliant German minds from business and politics. Even "friends" can have different opinions - after all, that's what makes a debate.
BIG BANG AI FESTIVAL: This event with over 200 speakers is a must for anyone interested in the impact of AI on our society. Be there and be inspired!
What you can also expect:
· Over 5,000 B2B contacts from the German economy
· 150 high-quality speakers
· 5 stages with keynotes, panel talks and live interviews
· 3 stages for targeted masterclasses
· Special innovation: The first festival where participants can receive an AI certificate at the same time
· Diverse range of topics: AI, technology, health, finance, management, mobility, sustainability and corporate succession
· Large food court area for networking
· Afterparty with live concert and other highlights
For two days, the festival at the Heeresbäckerei in Berlin-Kreuzberg not only offers space for inspiration, information and networking, but also plenty of opportunities to celebrate. Join us and discover the future of AI, business and medicine!
We look forward to seeing you!

What to expect in Berlin
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the mega-topics at this year's BIG BANG FESTIVAL. Top speakers and AI experts will talk about possible applications, opportunities, risks and how AI is changing the world.
It all started with the BIG BANG HEALTH Festival 2022. Since then, the event has evolved and other topics have been added. But we remain true to our classic. And so we are celebrating BIG BANG HEALTH again this year. Be there when the future of medicine is written!
Which investment strategies are hot right now? At BIG BANG FINANCE, you can find out all the insider tips and tricks from the world of finance. This is where experts from the investment sector come together to discuss the latest developments.
Everything here revolves around the latest trends and developments in the entertainment sector. With inspiring keynotes, exclusive insights, deep dives from renowned experts and networking opportunities. Network with the creative minds of the industry and be inspired by the highlights.
From hydrogen and hybrids to all the latest developments in the field of e-mobility, BIG BANG MOBILITY will be discussing all the latest trends relating to the fastest four wheels. This is the ideal opportunity to make new contacts and find out about topics and trends from the industry.
In 2023 it was the DUP UNTERNEHMER TAG, now it's called BIG BANG BUSINESS. It's all about entrepreneurship, management and leadership. Be there, be inspired and exchange ideas with the leading minds from business and science.
Mergers and acquisitions, or M&A for short, encompasses all types of company acquisitions, mergers and takeovers and is an important topic that almost all SMEs have to deal with at some point. At the BIG BANG FESTIVAL, leading M&A experts will provide new ideas, suggestions and inspiration for the M&A topics of the future.
How can SMEs create measurable financial added value with digital technologies? What pays off? What amortizes the fastest? The Digital Performance Conference has been shedding light on these questions for 5 years - practical, concrete, with recommendations from decision-makers in the SME sector. Live this year - at the Big Bang AI Festival.
