Stefan Lohmann Speaker and orator
Stefan Lohmann: "The event industry should be understood by politics and business as part of the solution. From locations that become energy hubs with solar panels on the huge car parks of stadiums, exhibition halls, amusement parks... to the wide reach of stars, shows, fairs, product presentations, conferences... the event industry offers many opportunities to make sustainable products and sustainable business tangible. During the lecture and through my guests on the main stage, it will become clear that sustainability is not the problem, but the solution - also economically!"
