Humans & AI
Unconsciously Guided. Consciously Led.
The world is evolving–and we are evolving with it. For over 20 years, the PAWLIK Congress has been considered Germany’s premier one-day event for leadership and sales.
Now, with the launch of the h+ai congress, we are beginning a new chapter. Together with PINKTUM, one of the leading EdTech providers and part of the PAWLIK Group, we are taking the next decisive step toward the future.
