Our motto “Trust in you” reflects the zeitgeist of the digital economy. In the age of artificial intelligence, increasing automation and data-driven business, the trust of consumers in particular plays a key role. However, the motto also reflects the strengthened trust of companies in themselves.

“After a few turbulent years, we are witnessing a strong new sense of self-confidence arising in companies when it comes to managing digitalization in 2019,” states Judith Kühn, Director Conference and Board Member of DMEXCO. But the digital economy is also aware of its responsibility. In this context, trust is the most important currency in marketing and communication. “We see and understand the challenges that digital trends pose to society, businesses and individuals,” says Judith Kühn.

Numerous exhibitors have integrated the motto into their presentation and their DMEXCO activities. This also applies to the seminar and worklab offers as well as the demos. In the first part of our three-part series, we present some selected offers.
