The speakers & presentations

The blind spot of traditional security: Linux & Open Source
Although most modern production & cloud environments run on Linux & open source, many security solutions are still primarily designed with Windows in mind — creating critical blind spots.
What does that mean for your organisation? In this session, we’ll show how to move beyond basic detection toward full operational security: from monitoring & threat detection to hardening, container & Kubernetes security, compliance and incident response readiness.

Hands‑on performance tuning for PostgreSQL databases
PostgreSQL exposes tens of configuration parameters. Tuning them correctly is notoriously difficult due to complex interactions and workload‑specific behavior. Traditional approaches—manual tuning or generic rule‑based tools—often fall short.
In this practical workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of server parameter tuning and get hands-on experience to achieve meaningful performance improvements. We’ll explore which parameters matter most with an introduction to DBtune Community Edition, an AI‑powered agentic tuning approach that blends heuristic rules with modern AI and ML techniques to deliver smarter, workload‑aware optimization.
Prerequisites: Bring your own laptop with a command‑line shell (e.g., PowerShell). If you are using a company laptop, please whitelist app.dbtune.com.

How can OpenDesk enable your organisation to build a fully open, sovereign digital workplace?
Many organisations still rely on proprietary collaboration platforms, which means limited control over data, privacy concerns & vendor lock-in. What if there was a better way?
In this session, we’ll show how OpenDesk lets you build a fully open, self-hosted digital workplace where collaboration, document management and communication are completely under your control!

Why (Local) Open Source AI Matters
We call this the AI era. We talk about breakthroughs, disruption & exponential innovation. But what is really happening today is less spectacular and at the same time more fundamental.
A stress test for our architectures. For our data management. For our governance. And above all: for our organisational structures.
