Voices from the Future Award

“What I liked about the Future Convention was the many inspiring conversations with a wide variety of people. No matter if other participants or experts, you could take a lot out of all the conversations. For me, the diversity of the audience was particularly exciting. Getting feedback from people from different areas was extremely valuable.”

Markus Mosig, Future Award special prize winner 2019
