| | A look back at the alumni gathering |
| Last month, we were guests of the Bosch Group’s IT Governance team in Stuttgart. Together with the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, we organised the first alumni meeting of the ISACA Germany Chapter.
To kick things off, Martin B. Schultz | LinkedIn gave a keynote speech providing a concise overview of IT governance as a driver of transformation in the context of restructuring, digitalisation and AI.
In the subsequent specialist sessions, participants gained practical insights into:
In addition to the substantive content, the focus was above all on networking: experts from various fields took the opportunity to strengthen their networks and discuss shared challenges.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Bosch Group for their hospitality, as well as to all those involved for the successful collaboration. |

📅 When: 20 May 2026

In a series of concise keynote talks, three experts will provide fascinating insights:

‘Beyond Classical Machine Learning: Limitations and Possibilities of Quantum Computing’ - Kathrin G. Kind (Switzerland) on the topic

| | Innovation & Tech Talk Online Event
The Innovation & Tech Talk specialist group invites all ISACA members and other interested parties to a
Tech Talk on 4 June 2026 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm on the following topic: Silence is defeat – communication as the key to navigating a hybrid crisis
In this presentation, Johannes Steger (Head of Digital Crisis Management at FGS Global) will demonstrate that hybrid attacks not only target infrastructure but, above all, undermine trust. Cyberattacks, disinformation and sabotage not only cause physical damage but also deliberately create uncertainty. In such situations, it is not systems alone that determine the course of a crisis, but above all narratives and communication.
The presentation highlights why communication plays a central role in hybrid crises and what leaders need to remain articulate even in uncertain times.
You will receive 1 CPE for attending. Further information and the registration link can be found on the event website. |
