Adapting business for a digitized world

With more than 1500 participants, the WorldWebForum in Zurich is Switzerland’s leading digital business conference. The aim is to build a bridge between the Swiss economy and thought leaders and entrepreneurs from the Silicon Valley. In recent years, the roster of world-class speakers has included the likes of Ed Catmull (CEO of Pixar), Steve Wozniak (cofounder of Apple), Marian Goodell (CEO of Burning Man), Jeff Eggers (principal advisor to Barack Obama) and Sir Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web). They took to the stage to share their knowledge with an audience consisting mainly of executives from the biggest Swiss corporations.

For the last three years, I have helped Fabian and his team further develop the concept of the conference and acquire top-notch speakers, as well as hosting the conference itself.
