1. Keynote Speech

Gender Medicine as a door opener to individualized, data based medicine

Alexandra Kautzky-Willer, Head of the Gender Medicine Unit, Medical University of Vienna

Differences in men’s and women’s body composition, metabolism or hormone level on the one hand often lead to gender-specific diseases. In addition gender-related social aspects like risk behaviour and lifestyle-habits tend to affect the occurance and the course of diseases very significantly. Thus, gender awareness pathed the way to personalized diagnosis and individualized, tailor-made treatments.

Impact of digitalization on business and society

Peter Baumgartner, Leadership Expert and Bestselling Author, Expert on Digital Innovation

Transforming or replacing face-to-face interaction by digital tools requires leadership and culture change. In his 50 min. Keynote Peter Baumgartner, best selling author, questions the promises of digital innovations – by thinking further about it’s effects and the sort of change which is necessary. One of his key insights: Encountering and dealing with people – be it your team members, employées, free-lancers, your customers, clients or suppliers – cannot completely be digitalized.
