On Thursday, 17 September 2026, STACKIT’s Cloud X Summit comes to Wiesbaden for its fourth edition – and I’ll be there. If you want to have a chat, let’s grab a coffee between sessions.
The programme
The programme pairs keynotes with practical breakout sessions and panel discussions. Among the many speakers are Dr. Cristina Caffarra of the EuroStack Initiative Foundation, Malte Blumberg steering the ARD Cloud Unit and the EBU’s Cloud Strategy Group, Volker Hartmann building the federal cloud platform at the DigitalService des Bundes, and Maciej Brzeziński from the European Central Bank, to name just a few. I am expecting concrete use cases from focus industries rather than marketing slides.
Let’s meet
So: let’s meet. The easiest way is to reach out ahead of time — reply here, message me on Bluesky (european.cloud on Bluesky) or LinkedIn (european.cloud on LinkedIn), or simply flag me down on the day. I’ll be around for the full programme and the breaks in between, and whether you want to share a cloud war story, or just say hello, I’d genuinely be glad to talk.
Why I am there
I have high hopes in what Schwarz Digits is pulling off at the moment. It is one of the most optimistic, ambitious and forward-thinking undertakings going on in digital Europe these days. Plus it is also one of the largest.
