Why encounters are more important today than ever before

At a time when economic uncertainty, geopolitical conflicts and a flood of digital information are shaping our everyday lives, face-to-face meetings are becoming increasingly important again. Events provide orientation: people exchange ideas, compare information and forge relationships that build trust.

Business events are a barometer of our times: they show how companies deal with uncertainty, how new technologies are changing collaboration and how valuable real encounters continue to be. At the same time, the industry is driving change – structurally, technologically and with a clear focus on sustainability. This is precisely why editorial work is now particularly important: it puts things into context, highlights developments and opens our eyes to opportunities. We are accompanying this process attentively, critically and with the aim of telling the stories that will shape the future of the industry.

The way people conduct research is changing rapidly: more and more are using artificial intelligence instead of traditional search engines. AI does not rely on advertising or SEO tricks – but on trustworthy, curated sources. For brands, this means that visibility will in future be found where credibility is at home. With tw, we offer exactly this environment – editorially reviewed, professionally relevant and just as valuable for AI systems as it is for decision-makers.
