About DLD Tel Aviv
Since 2005, Hubert Burda Media has hosted the international conference DLD
(Digital, Life, Design), chaired by Israeli high-tech entrepreneur Yossi Vardi and
publisher Hubert Burda. DLD lives and evolves through a global network and serves
as a platform to share experiences, discuss ideas, or simply get inspired and learn
from visionary thinkers and doers. Previous speakers at DLD events were, for example
Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Eric Schmidt (Google), Ai Weiwei, Chad Hurley
(YouTube) and Andrew Mason (Groupon). DLD is a major hub for innovation topics
revolving around how digitalization is changing our society, our lives, the way we
interact and do business.
Following conferences in Munich and events in Palo Alto, New York, London, Rio de
Janeiro and Beijing, a DLD conference will be held in Tel Aviv for the first time. Israel is
one of the world's leading 'digital nations' and is therefore also an extremely
interesting business location for German companies. Among the approximately 800
participants of DLD conference are therefore more than 100 thought leaders,
business people, investors and scientists from Germany.
The DLD summit topics will focus on digital markets and new technologies, education
and science. Around 50 speakers are expected, including Yandex founder Arkady
Volozh, Grammy winners Steve Greenberg and Miri Ben-Ari, Nobel prize winner in
chemistry Daniel Shechtman, Publicis chairman Jean-Yves Naouri, the technology
entrepreneur Rafi Gidron, neuroscientist Amiram Grinvald and the civil rights activist
Stav Shaffir, as well as the DLD chairman Hubert Burda and Burda's CEO, Paul-
Bernhard Kallen. Additional events hosted by companies such as Google, Amazon,
Twitter or Facebook, for example, will also form part of the DLD Tel Aviv Festival.
