Bits & Aperitivo: Human After All, on a Munich rooftop

Not everything we work on arrives as a document. Bits & Aperitivo is our own evening, hosted with Bird & Bird and Schlote Partners, as the side event to Bits & Pretzels. Founders, investors, corporate leaders and innovators from across Europe, on a rooftop above the Theresienwiese, for the kind of conversation a conference floor never quite allows.

Bits & Pretzels runs this year under the motto Human After All, and we have built the evening around that one question from two directions. Gregor Kolls, co-founder and chief executive of the Munich robotics company Filics, takes the technologist’s view of how technology is changing our role. Professor Florian Ringel, director of the department of neurosurgery at LMU Klinikum, takes the medical one on what makes us thinking beings in the first place. Nicole Ebner, head of robo.innovate at the TUM Venture Lab Robotics and AI, hosts the evening and holds the two together.

28 September, six to ten in the evening, at Rischart on Theresienhoehe. The room is deliberately small and a few seats are still open. (twobirds.eventogy.com)
