The Social Event will take place on the second conference day; on September 28th, 2006.
The Mercedes-World at Salzufer is the perfect location for our Social Event!
You will have the chance to get in touch with other conference attendees and speakers. We will provide a great buffet and a typical Berlin musical accompaniment. A bus shuttle service will be waiting to take you from the Ludwig Erhard Haus to the Mercedes-World!
The opening speech will be held by Heinz Paul Bonn, the Vice President of BITKOM and the Chairman of the Board of GUS Group AG & Co. KG.
During the evening you can wander the different levels at Mercedes-World. There is a Formula One Driving Simulator where you can go for a virtual drive. Those who like the thrill can tackle the climbing wall!

This Driving Simulator is a chance for you to test your motor racing skills under Formula One conditions and experience the allure of the sport in the cockpit of the driving simulator. Just take a seat and prepare to navigate one of the most well-known and difficult courses in the world.

With a height of 17m, 70% overhang and a difficulty level of 8, the two indoor climbing walls present you a breath-taking experience! You will have the chance to tackle one of the two climbing walls, under the expert supervision of staff from the German Alpine Association, of course.
