Eine Auswahl der ersten Speaker für Juni 2027:

5 WORLDS,
BUT NO BUBBLE.

MACHN deliberately brings together people
who wouldn't normally cross paths in their day-to-day work.

For minds that move companies forward. At MACHN, leaders, real challenges and honest insights into transformation processes meet people who know that culture isn't a soft skill, it's hard work every day.
