DLD Munich 2025

January 16-18, 2025

We’re celebrating 20 years of shaping the future!

DLD began in 2005 with the mission to explore how the Internet would change our world. Today, a new set of technologies is shaping how we work and live – from AI, robotics and biotechnology to self-driving cars, nano satellites, quantum computers and many more.

But our goal remains the same: DLD brings together a diverse group of business leaders, world-class scientists, artists and designers, startup founders and investors – people who not only imagine a better future but are actively creating it. Over the course of three days, top experts will share insights under this year’s motto Future Positive.

What DLD Speakers Say

  • Portrait image of Solveigh Hieronimus, McKinsey & Company
    McKinsey & Company
    DLD is like a mental spa. You come and you’re refreshed with ideas and thoughts and challenges. And above all, it’s the people. Steffi and team have created something unique.
  • If you work for a large American company, it is important to hear voices from all over the world. Because it’s easy to get locked into your own echo chamber in the U.S.
  • Juliana Rotich, Head of Fintech Solutions, Safaricom PLC
    Safaricom PLC
    DLD is the highlight of the beginning of the year for me, and for many people in the tech industry. Once you’re a DLD member, you become part of the community and you continue to add to the conversations that I hope will shape the future.
  • Studio portrait of author and technology expert Azeem Azhar, looking left, smiling.
    Exponential View
    DLD is always in my calendar because I love coming here. Because of the energy, because of what you learn – but most importantly, because of the people that you meet.
  • Portrait of singer Beatie Wolfe
    Artist & Innovator
    I couldn’t be a bigger fan of DLD. There is something magical about the atmosphere and the warmth, and the personal connections. I feel like DLD has the best people, it has the best conversations and it has the best intentions.
  • Albert Wenger, Partner, Union Square Ventures
    Union Square Ventures
    DLD is my favorite conference because it is a casual atmosphere, but at the same time it brings together people from very different backgrounds in intense exchanges that spur new ideas. Every time, I come away from DLD with a new idea to pursue.
