ESG was an important part of the @GTDC_org agenda this week - here we heard quite simply that sustainability will be the DNA of what makes your company a success. Not a panel. Not greenwashing. But real change.

Once again a great @TCGSummit conference and a great host @declancurry who combines wit with painstaking research to ensure that his questions are relevant and make the most of the value we get from top notch speakers. Bravo! #tcg2024

#tcg2024 this time in Berlin , very interesting insights about the role of AI in our business.

How does the European market differ from the US market? Discovering now with Bill Darcy, Jr., Global President and CEO of NKBA at #tcg2024

[TCG Summit @TCGSummit]

The ultimate goal of the EC's initiatives is to involve consumers in participating in the green transition. #tcg2024

Sustainability view from Massimiliano Rossi @Acer - yes we have a responsibility, it is an opportunity to tell the story to our partners and overcome the challenges, and it is about balance, as the keynote speaker Isabelle Perignon from @eucommission said. #tcg2024

[Adam Simon @adamcontext]

Masterclass on the ethics of #ai from Joanna Bryson - actions can be taken that affect people’s lives - humans are responsible. You will be sued if people come to harm. There are starting to be due diligence companies checking things. #tcg2024

[TCG Summit @TCGSummit]

Olivia Reid: with further penetration of AI, business success will come down to experiential design, human services, and relationship building. #tcg2024

[Adam Simon @adamcontext]

29% not using #AI in their processes - a big shock to the audience. In fact as Stuart Blanch of @intel said, even the blur on Teams is AI generated. One thing is clear - those not integrating AI will be left behind. #tcg2024

[Adam Simon @adamcontext]

Enlightenment on AI use case #1. Thanks Julia Paulsen of @elkjop_no

[TCG Summit @TCGSummit]

TCG community stays optimistic towards this year's results. 2/3 expect to see growth in the first half 2024. Even more believe in growth in the 2nd half.

[Adam Simon @adamcontext]

Listening to AI talk makes me think of smart home on steroids. It’s about anticipation of your needs and helping people to manage complexity. This time it’s real. Encouraging after many false dawns. #tcg2024

[TCG Summit @TCGSummit]

Nikolaus Lang: one of the most possible development of the current situation is multipolar competition, that may lead to stagnation or low growth of the world economy and slight increase of inflation. #tcg2024
