On September 4, 2026, the second Connectivity Summit by GAS&COM took place at the Metropol Zurich. We look back with great pleasure on a successful event featuring exciting insights, stimulating discussions, and valuable connections.
The focus was on current and future challenges facing the connectivity industry: from the importance of employees and leadership in technological change to highly scalable 400-gigabit data center networks and quantum computing and the future of secure communication.
Special thanks go to our speakers:
- Jürg Baur (Green Datacenter AG) – Ready for Tomorrow: Growth Starts with Employees
- Simon Koch (NorthC Datacenters) & Michael Stenz (GAS&COM) – 400 Gigabits in Practice: High-Performance Data Center Networking
- Florian Fröwis – Quantum Computing and the Future of Secure Communication
In the subsequent panel discussion, the most important trends, opportunities, and challenges facing the connectivity industry were explored in depth together with the experts.
During the subsequent networking & flying lunch, our guests had the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new contacts, and wrap up the summit in a relaxed atmosphere.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, speakers, and partners who made the second Connectivity Summit such a special event.
We’re already looking forward to seeing you again at the next Connectivity Summit!
