To remain competitive, the sports industry is required more than ever before to identify far-reaching trends and to tap new growth potential: Digitalization plays a pivotal role in this regard. At the same time, consumers’ wishes and needs are becoming increasingly essential. Knowing what customers are thinking or what appeals to them is more important than ever. In his keynote address, the American technology blogger Robert Scoble will focus on the future and take a look at consumers in 2020. He will discuss how companies can correctly serve these individuals and optimally prepare to do business with them. Giulio Montemagno, General Manager of AmazonPay Europe, will talk about new payment systems and opportunities. The founder of eGym, Philipp Roesch-Schlanderer, plans to offer inspiration in his address. With its powerful vision and inventiveness, eGym has been able to establish digital innovations in the fitness industry and to create new services for customers.
