Investors traditionally focused on real estate are increasingly turning their attention to infrastructure. Infrastructure that needs to be built, expanded and modernised. Meeting this growing demand will require private capital to work alongside public investment. EXPO REAL is evolving with this changing investment landscape. For the first time, it brings real estate, investment and infrastructure together under one roof – as the International Trade Fair for Real Estate, Investment and Infrastructure. This is where capital meets opportunity: bringing together those who need to build, expand and modernise infrastructure with those ready to invest in its future. This shift raises a host of new questions: What role will infrastructure play in strategic asset allocation? Where do real estate and infrastructure complement each other? How to finance its growing infrastructure needs? And how can private capital help close Europe’s infrastructure gap? Let’s walk the talk together with #InfrastructureNow at EXPO REAL (Messe München) 2026. Join our panel discussions at the InfrastructureNow Forum in hall A3: 👉 Monday, 9.30 am: Keynote „Capital doesn’t think in terms of asset classes: Why do we?“ by Peter Brodehser (German Association for Alternative Investments) followed by the panel discussion “From Real Estate to Infrastructure: Why Infrastructure Investments Are Gaining Importance”, with, among others, Michael Henn (Commerz Real), Philip Rauh (Swiss Life Asset Managers), and Martin Neubert (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners), moderated by André Zücker (KGAL). 👉 Monday, 11 am: Panel “Strategic Asset Allocation: What Roles Will Infrastructure and Real Estate Play in the Future?” with Peter Herrmannsberger (Philips Pensionskasse), Uwe Fleischhauer (YIELCO Investments), Alexandra Bernstorff (Luxcara), and Andreas Wolf (KZVK), moderated by Sonja Knorr (Scope Fund Analysis GmbH). And this is only the beginning. Over the three days of EXPO REAL we will dive deeper into the infrastructure themes shaping Europe’s future – from energy and digital infrastructure and data centers to defence, financing, private capital, mobility and infrastructure in growing cities. Find the full conference program here: https://lnkd.in/dDKrKN3s Want to be part of the conversation? You’re most welcome. EXPO REAL in Munich from Monday, 5 October to Wednesday, 7 October.

We’ve already explored what’s happening on Monday and Tuesday at the new InfrastructureNow forum at EXPO REAL (Messe München). Now, let’s turn to Wednesday – day 3 of the programme. What’s coming up? Infrastructure means connection and deals with transports – of goods and people. That’s why Wednesday, 7 October starts at 10.00 h with the panel “Sustainable Mobility and Transport Oriented Development”. Maciej Fijałkowski, Secretary, City of Warsaw, Dr. Gesa Matthes, Strategic Innovation, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH and Samu Szemerey, National Chief Architect for Hungary and State Secretary for Architecture and Construction at the Hungarian Ministry of Transport and Public Works, will present and answer the questions of moderator Prof Greg Clark CBE FAcSS, global consultant for cities. The energy, data centre, defence and financing topics explored in depth on days 1 and 2 are all closely connected to the needs and challenges of cities. So, on day 3, the focus shifts to the urban level – with panels exploring how infrastructure can help shape the cities of tomorrow. The session beginning at 11.00 h is dedicated to “Infrastructure in growing cities”. For the Norwegian capital Oslo Øyvind Såtvedt, Assistant Director General and Head of Business Development, City of Oslo, as well as as well as Sascha Steuer, CEO of the German Verband Beratender Ingenieure, and Christoph Leptien from DWA Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall will join the stage together with moderator Prof Greg Clark. From 12.00 h to 12.50 h it is about infrastructure in “New Cities and New Towns”. Clare Wildfire, Global Cities Lead at Mott MacDonald, Robert Grüneis, Board Member at Vienna’s Wien 3420 aspern development AG, Alejandro Gutierrez, Director at Arup and Elisabet Cirici i Amell, Director General for Spatial Planning, Urban Planning and Architecture at the Government of Catalonia are on stage at InfrastructureNow. Prof Greg Cark will moderate this session as well. And finally, we’ll wrap up the first InfrastructureNow programme on Wednesday – with a strong focus on cities and the infrastructure shaping their future. Here’s what’s in store at InfrastructureNow: https://lnkd.in/dDKrKN3s

IWA has always been more than an exhibition – it’s where the future of our industry takes shape. I still remember my first IWA. I was part of the sales team back then – curious, inspired, and completely drawn in by the energy in the halls. Today, in my role as the exhibition directore of this event – I can see the same spirit and passion that continues to drive everything we do. From 26 February to 1 March 2026, we’ll open the doors again in Nuremberg. But more importantly: we’ll open a movement. With our campaign “Made for Trade,” we’re celebrating the people who keep this industry moving – and creating a space where we move it forward, together. In a time of change, this collective mindset matters more than ever. It’s about dialogue instead of distance, strategy instead of noise, and partnership instead of isolation. Because the exhibition doesn’t just react to markets – it defines them. IWA is not just a date in your calendar. It’s a movement built by the people who believe in the power of trade. 💬 How do you see the role of trade in shaping the industry’s next chapter? 👉 Join the movement. Be part of #IWA2026: iwa.info/en/madefortrade #iwaoutdoorclassics #madefortrade

Why visit #IWA2026? Because conversations shape markets. For me, every IWA has been a turning point, because of the people I met. Conversations that stayed with me. Partnerships that started with a handshake. Ideas that changed the way I think about the industry. That’s exactly what we want to make possible again in 2026. IWA OutdoorClassics is Made for Trade – and for those who want to move this industry forward. What makes it worth the trip to Nuremberg? 💚 Meet more than 1,000 exhibitor from 120 nations 💚 discover look + feel of the innovations from the hunting and shooting sports industry from around the globe 💚 experience the atmosphere of real dialogue, where professionals talk to professionals, without distractions, without pretense. IWA is where insights become strategy and contacts become collaboration. It isn’t a place for passive observation. It’s a space for people who shape – not just follow – the future of trade. In the end, it’s more than the products that make a market – it’s about the conversations that happen around them. 💬 What kind of conversations are you most looking forward to in 2026? 👉 Secure your ticket now and join the movement: iwa.info/en/madefortrade #iwaoutdoorclassics #madefortrade

Václav Dejčmar mi napsal moc pěkné doporučení k Nazí v AI době - a trefil jednu z hlavních věcí, které mě k psaní vedly. „Autor se nebojí klást nevšední otázky a vydávat se do labyrintu nečekaných úvah. Co se stane, až nás AI zbaví pocitu výjimečnosti a odhalí naši existenciální nahotu, jako v pohádce Císařovy nové šaty.“ Václave, děkuji. Tahle metafora je přesná. A pokud knihu ještě nemáte, Nazí v AI době je k dostání v knihkupectvích i jako e-kniha.

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Leaders Club! One of the things I’ve always loved about sport is its ability to bring people together - across communities, industries, backgrounds, and shared passions. Sport creates connection, sparks conversation, and has the power to unite people around something bigger than the game itself. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a community of leaders and innovators across the sports business industry, and I’m looking forward to connecting, learning, and contributing alongside this group. Thank you Reyes Miranda and Sports Business Journal for the opportunity. Excited for what’s ahead!

Grateful to have been selected to join the Leaders in Sport community. I'm looking forward to connecting with professionals across the sports industry in London, learning from their experiences, exchanging ideas, and continuing to grow. A big thank you to Alice Shone for the warm onboarding, and to National Basketball Association (NBA) for the trust and support. Looking forward to this new chapter!

A couple of months ago, we celebrated ISMG's 20th anniversary, and I wrote about what those two decades have meant: the analyst working an incident at 3 a.m., the CISO explaining risk to a board, the researcher who finds the flaw before an adversary does. This community is the reason we exist. Today we opened our most ambitious chapter yet: a strategic partnership with Peak Rock Capital — the first outside investment in our history. When Information Security Media Group (ISMG) began two decades ago, it was a four-hour online workshop built around a multi-factor authentication and risk assessment compliance requirement from the FFIEC. We had no outside capital and no playbook, just a bet that the people who defend the digital world deserved intelligence and education built for them. For twenty years we stayed self-funded, building each of our businesses from our own operations and welcoming companies like QG Media, Xtra Mile, Nullcon, Hardwear.io, and Grey Head Media into the ISMG family along the way. So why change now? Over the past year, I've spent time with our teams and communities throughout APAC, EMEA, and North America, and the message everywhere was the same: the world runs on software, and increasingly on AI, and the people we serve need more from us than we can build alone. We chose our first institutional partner deliberately. Peak Rock believes in what this team is capable of building next. Together, we will pursue AI-driven growth and acquisitions across our media, events, education and studio businesses, and keep investing in the people who do the work. Not everyone who helped build this company is here to see this day. We lost Steve King and Sameer Saxena along the way, and they are part of everything we have built and of what comes next. At our anniversary, I made five commitments to this community — stay true to our mission, renew the editorial contract every day, keep building our communities, keep educating, and get AI right. None of them change with this partnership. Our capacity to keep them does. Because twenty years of ISMG does not amount to a product or a portfolio or a list of acquisitions. It amounts to trust, built slowly, with people who trusted us enough to let us serve them. To our team, clients, partners, and everyone who has given us that trust: thank you. We will spend the next twenty years trying to be worthy of it.

Vyšel mi velký rozhovor na Novinkách a mám z něj radost. Mluvili jsme o tom, proč #AI není jen další technologická vlna, ale něco, co bude čím dál víc zasahovat do práce, vztahů, vzdělávání, identity i našeho rozhodování. A také o tom, proč si potřebujeme nastavit hranice dřív, než si zvykneme všechno pohodlně delegovat. V rozhovoru říkám i jednu věc, která mi přijde zásadní: největší nebezpečí nemusí být v tom, že AI bude moc silná. Ale v tom, že my budeme moc pohodlní. Že přestaneme přemýšlet, ptát se, pochybovat a nést odpovědnost za vlastní rozhodnutí. Děkuji Bohumil Kunertové za rozhovor a Novinkám za prostor. Těší mě, že se téma Nazí v AI době dostává i k tak širokému publiku. Rozhovor najdete tady: https://lnkd.in/dpR3uZDG PS: Mou knihu Nazí v AI době: Identita člověka a hledání smyslu tváří v tvář umělé inteligenci, o kterou se rozhovor točil, si stále můžete koupit v papírové i elektronické podobě, nezapomeňte.

Ses vi til Ignite Odense? Hvis ja; så kom et smut forbi vores Foundbase-stand, ram bull 🎯 (bare rolig du får flere forsøg) og deltag i lodtrækningen om en trøje fra hele byens striber, Odense Boldklub 🔵⚪🔵⚪ Vi har brugt en del tid på at forberede os, og selvom jeg ikke måtte leje en tryllekunster for resten af teamet, så har vi stadig et par kaniner i hatten - så kom forbi og få en sludder for en sladder 🤘

Fra TechBBQ og retur til Fyn, hvor vi i næste uge tænder op under vores eget startup- og scaleupmiljø! Jeg er netop hjemvendt fra et par virkelig gode og travle dage på TechBBQ, hvor jeg sammen med mine kolleger fra de seks erhvervshuse repræsenterede Virksomhedsguiden og vores fælles indsats som iværksætterguides. Jeg var en smule pessimistisk, indrømmer jeg gerne. For ville nogen overhovedet dukke op i vores stand? Det gjorde de heldigvis. Begge dage var der masser af mennesker forbi med idéer, spændende virksomheder, gode spørgsmål og ambitioner på vidt forskellige stadier. Det var fantastisk at opleve. Nu er jeg tilbage hos mine kolleger i Business Hub Fyn – for i næste uge er det vores tur her på Fyn. Den 8.–10. september er det tid til Ignite Odense: → 8. september: Defence → 9. september: Life Science & BioSolutions → 10. september: Ignite 2026: Next Level, hvor startup-, scaleup- og investormiljøet samles. Og en særlig invitation til den sidste dag: Ignite er ikke kun for dig, der allerede kalder dig founder. Det er også for dig, der går rundt med en idé, men ikke helt ved, hvor du skal begynde. Eller dig, der allerede er i gang, men har tusinde spørgsmål og går lidt rundt om dig selv for at finde svarene. For det er trods alt ikke alt, ChatGPT kan hjælpe med, sorry. Vejen fra idé til virksomhed er sjældent lineær. Men man kan gøre den lidt lettere ved at opsøge mennesker, viden og muligheder, der kan hjælpe én videre. Og det er præcis derfor, vi har brug for arrangementer som Ignite – og hvorfor det betyder noget, at vi møder op og bakker op om det fynske startupmiljø. Jeg er der hele dagen den 10. september. Så går du med en idé, en virksomhed, en udfordring – eller er du bare nysgerrig – så prik mig på skulderen. Hvis jeg ikke selv har svaret, kan jeg med stor sandsynlighed hjælpe dig hen til nogen, der har. Og mangler du det sidste skub, har jeg en rabatkode, der giver 30 % på billetten: [AMBASSADOR30] Jeg håber, vi ses i Odense 🙂

Career Over!😟 Sorry Nick Lachey. HUH? What is going on here you ask... Virtual Events do not need to be BORING! In between the 'work' stuff we shove in fun sessions that could not be more 'off brand' if we tried. But why? Shouldn't we focus on the important stuff? Here is the big secret - we are all humans just trying to smile sometimes in between the stressful stuff. GURU Conference is not everyone's jam - and it shouldn't be. HOT TAKE: When you are for everyone...you are for no one So yeah - did we have a 'No-Look Karaoke Contest' judged by Nick Lachey (Love is Blind and 98 Degrees Fame). We sure did! And was I terrible! You know it! Did I bring shame to my family! 100% Was it the most viewed session (other than Nicole Kidman) - oddly yes. This year was my favorite one. Hope you had a blast, made some friends, learned some stuff, and laughed a little. Can't wait to see what happens next! #guruconference

Een volle agenda is geen strategie Aan het begin van elk jaar zie ik hetzelfde patroon in onze branche: de focus verschuift naar bezetting. Agenda’s moeten vol, campagnes worden opgeschaald. Alles om data vast te leggen en gaten te dichten. Begrijpelijk. De druk is groot. Maar bezetting is een resultaat, geen strategie. Wie alleen stuurt op volume, stuurt op korte termijn. En zoals velen weten houd ik van lange termijn relaties. De echte waarde zit in relaties die elk jaar sterker worden. Als Commercieel Directeur bij Gooiland Events zie ik dagelijks hoeveel er van eventmanagers wordt gevraagd: minder tijd, meer stakeholders, complexere programma’s. Dan is het verschil simpel. Werk je met een eventlocatie die jouw organisatie kent en vooruit kan denken? Of begin je steeds opnieuw? Een vast team dat begrijpt wat voor jou belangrijk is, schakelt sneller en scherper. Dat maakt samenwerking niet alleen efficiënter, maar ook beter. Vanuit die overtuiging hebben we bij Gooiland gekozen voor een ambassadeursschap: terugkerende opdrachtgevers met wie we bouwen aan langdurige samenwerking. In een recent interview verwoordt Wietske Vergunst van SURF het zo: “Het servicelevel is gewoon heel hoog. Niks is te gek en iedereen is vriendelijk. Dat maakt mijn werk als eventmanager echt een stuk makkelijker.” Duurzame samenwerking is geen bijproduct van succes. Het ís de strategie. Benieuwd hoe dat er in de praktijk uitziet? Lees het interview hier: https://lnkd.in/e8g7ucdM Dank aan al onze ambassadeurs die jaar na jaar opnieuw voor Gooiland kiezen en met wie we samen blijven bouwen aan sterke events.

Dit jaar vieren we bij Gooiland een bijzondere mijlpaal: 90 jaar Gooiland! Toen we daar laatst met het team bij stil stonden, dachten we: zo’n moment wil je natuurlijk niet stilletjes voorbij laten gaan. En wie jarig is trakteert… Dus besloten we iets te doen wat we normaal gesproken niet zo snel doen (na het genot van enkele wijntjes): 𝗩𝗿𝗮𝗮𝗴 𝗻𝘂 𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴 𝗷𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝘄 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗹 𝟭𝟱𝟬 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗷 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗤𝟮, 𝗷𝘂𝗹𝗶 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲? 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗴 𝗷𝗲 𝟵𝟬% 𝗸𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗵𝘂𝘂𝗿. 𝗝𝗮, 𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁. 𝟵𝟬 𝗷𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 = 𝟵𝟬% 𝗸𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. In de afgelopen 90 jaar zijn hier duizenden memorabele evenementen en bijeenkomsten georganiseerd. Van congressen tot gala’s en van spetterende bedrijfsfeesten tot bijzondere producties. En ik vind het tof dat we die momenten samen met onze opdrachtgevers kunnen creëren. Proost op 90 jaar Gooiland! We vieren dit jubileum daarom graag samen met jou op de nog beschikbare data in deze periode. Dus ben je nog op zoek naar een unieke evenementenlocatie? Kom gerust eens langs voor een locatiebezoek. Ik vertel je graag alles over ons prachtige monumentale gebouw uit 1936 en daarna drinken we gezellig nog een glas aan de bar. Wil je een datum vastleggen of even sparren? Stuur me een bericht via LinkedIn of mail naar [email protected]. Maar wacht niet te lang… voordat ik weer bij zinnen ben gekomen... 😉 Let op: deze actie geldt niet voor reeds lopende projecten. Gooiland Events

Een jaar geleden stapte ik uit mijn comfortzone en besloot ik hier op LinkedIn structureel meer te gaan delen over mijn werk. Je mag best weten dat ik daar even aan moest wennen. In mijn netwerk ben ik al jaren goed zichtbaar tijdens beurzen en (netwerk)events. Online jezelf continu laten zien, is toch anders. Inmiddels durf ik te zeggen dat ik blij ben dat ik over die drempel ben gestapt. Ons vak is bijzonder, wordt nog regelmatig onderschat en er komt zo veel bij kijken. Strategie, keuzes, verantwoordelijkheden, onverwachte uitdagingen. Veel te interessant en leuk om niets over te delen. En het werkt. Mensen zien mijn posts en spreken me erop aan. Zichtbaar zijn staat voor mij niet synoniem aan in de spotlight staan of harder roepen. Juist het context geven, delen en inzicht geven in wat ik doe, is de meerwaarde. Ik geloof dat je als gezicht van een organisatie ook online verantwoordelijkheid draagt. Niet alleen delen wat goed ging, juist ook laten zien hoeveel werk, aandacht en vakmanschap er nodig is om iets echt te laten slagen. En wat soms niet goed gaat. 😉 Dus ik blijf hier lekker actief. Om te laten zien wat ik doe (samen met mijn team vol enthousiaste toppers) en om in gesprek te blijven met de mensen voor wie wij uiteindelijk het verschil kunnen maken!

“Hoe weten we straks of dit event of deze incentive reis iets heeft opgeleverd?” Die terechte vraag krijg ik bijna altijd van klanten. Het gaat ook om flinke investeringen en niemand wil achteraf alleen zeggen dat het “wel leuk” was. Wat ik vaak zie: organisaties proberen het effect achteraf te meten. Met een evaluatieformuliertje. Maar dan ben je eigenlijk al te laat. Het effect van een event of reis ontstaat veel eerder, in de fase ervoor. Door scherp te krijgen: wat moet er na afloop anders zijn dan nu? Wat moet iemand doen, voelen of laten? En voor wie moet dit verschil maken? Als dat niet helder is, kun je meten wat je wilt, maar weet je nog steeds niet of het gewerkt heeft. Daarom beginnen wij altijd graag aan de voorkant. Met uitgebreide gesprekken, doorvragen. En we doen een 0-meting. Want alleen dan kun je keuzes maken die ergens toe leiden. Een goede ROI meet je niet alleen door te tellen. Ook het gevoel na afloop wil je duidelijk krijgen. En ja, die effecten zie je uiteindelijk terug. Maar dat gebeurt alleen als je durft te beginnen voordat het programma vaststaat.

Er is niks leukers aan mijn werk dan het nét even anders doen. Geen standaard event, maar een belevenis waar collega’s en relaties nog over napraten. Een personeelsfeest is toch meer dan een drankje in een zaaltje met een statafel? En een congres draait niet alleen om luisteren, maar om beleven en verbinden. Juist die verrassende details maken een evenement bijzonder. Op de afdeling events denken we niet in ruimtes, maar in mogelijkheden. En juist dát maakt elk evenement in Cool kunst en cultuur bijzonder. Ben jij nog op zoek naar een unieke locatie voor jouw event in 2027? Laat het mij weten, we denken graag met je mee! Het team staat klaar om jouw event onvergetelijk te maken: https://lnkd.in/eUPHerXC 🎥 Don Duijvestijn Myrthe de Brouwer | Patricia de Haan | Sijmen Schouten | Megan Briars

I asked Gil Geron, CEO of Orca Security: AI in security v. securing AI? GO! He shared that the developers are already using it, the velocity has already increased, and the change has already arrived. Will security teams will evolve fast enough to remain relevant? THIS is where the real opportunity lies. Instead of being the department that says "no" to AI-assisted development, security needs to become the department that says "yes, AND here's how we do it safely at scale." Because if 70% of code is AI-generated and velocity is 10x what it was two years ago, traditional human-led security reviews become a bottleneck. You simply cannot manually review, test, and secure code at that pace. The path forward requires a fundamental mindset shift: Security teams must weaponize AI to secure AI. This means automated security testing that scales with AI-generated code velocity. AI-powered threat detection and penetration testing. Platforms that can review, analyze, and flag risks at machine speed. Security protocols designed for continuous, automated deployment. This transition will be uncomfortable. It requires security professionals to move from being gatekeepers to being architects of intelligent systems. It demands learning new tools, trusting automation, and accepting that human oversight will increasingly focus on exceptions rather than reviewing every line. Gil and I are going to break this down on his upcoming episode of Cooking with CISOs, airing October 26, 12pm CDT.
