I PROGRAMME I Get inspired at IFA 2023 with four exciting conference tracks IFA 2023 boasts an impressive lineup of panels, talks, and conferences, with four distinct programmes: The Leaders Summit, Sustainability, IFA Next, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. With such a wide range of topics, there’s something for everyone. The programmes have been organised by theme, and we’ve put together an overview of each. 1 ST - 4 TH SEPTEMBER SUSTAINABILITY VILLAGE Sustainability is a major priority at IFA 2023, as we all have a responsibility collectively to care for the planet's health for future generations. While the global tech industry has come under scrutiny for its considerable impact on the planet, accounting for 2-3% of the world's CO2 emissions, according to UN data, it is important not to forget that it is also an industry that champions innovation and creativity. This puts it in an excellent position to provide solutions to these problems and demonstrate tangible results. IFA has organised a dedicated Sustainability Village for the first time this year, including a comprehensive conference forum on sustainability best practices, a dedicated exhibitor area, and networking focused on connecting sustainability leaders with the wider IFA community. Subjects tackled will include what is driving customer purchasing decisions, integrating sustainability into future homes, green investment opportunities and challenges, and much more. Hall 2.2 For the full Sustainability Village Programme, click here © Sascha Gloede - Netzoptimisten GbR 1 ST & 2 ND SEPTEMBER IFA LEADERS SUMMIT IFA’s Main Stage - this year at a new location in Hall 21 - has been reserved for some of the most influential figures in the industry to come together and explore critical and meaningful topics that are shaping the electronics and appliance sectors today. Amidst fierce competition, the cost of living crisis, and deglobalisation, the industry is tackling a number of challenges surrounding innovation. Major questions will be addressed including: Is the exponential curve of innovation beginning to slow down? Are companies producing incremental improvements? How can businesses ensure profitability while also balancing innovation and sustainability? The Leaders Summit Programme is a must-attend for CEOs and C-suite executives, directors, heads and VPs of companies involved in the production, distribution, and sale of consumer electronics and home appliances. It’s an exciting opportunity to gain exclusive insights into the latest industry trends, network with top experts, and build relationships with potential partners and suppliers.

IFA has partnered with TNW this year to help highlight these startups as they deserve. Conferences will include an opening keynote on reimagining the future of consumer electronics; how to navigate change and turn it into opportunity; successful corporate-startup collaboration: © Sascha Gloede - Netzoptimisten GbR unlocking synergies and driving innovation; and many more innovative and inspiring topics. There will also be demo days, pitching competitions and investor panels. With over 500 startups participating in 2023, it’s a concentration of innovation you won’t want to miss out on. hub 27 / IFA Next For the full IFA Next Programme, click here. 3 RD SEPTEMBER DIVERSITY EQUITY & INCLUSION IFA 2023 is committed to increasing opportunities for everyone, and has put together a programme focused on identifying what the challenges are behind the lack of diversity within the tech industry, and what initiatives companies, governments and individuals can take to make progress in this area. Photo: Sascha Gloede - Netzoptimisten GbR There will be dedicated sessions and a Women in Tech breakfast, specifically targeting increasing the visibility and progression of diversity in tech into leadership roles within the industry. The programme will highlight and give the microphone to successful individuals in high-level roles. The mission is to enhance the prominence of underrepresented groups in the tech industry, driven by IFA’s commitment to fostering inclusivity through the exchange of best practices and strategies. It’s an opportunity to listen, network, and be inspired.
