Welcome to the MACHN26 DSLAM - IT-Slam

It's time for IT to finally get things done.
But what is IT really? Digitisation, AI, cybersecurity, data – it's all somehow IT and impossible to imagine business without it anymore.
But also often either too boring, bone dry or riddled with buzzwords.

That's just how it is. There's nothing that can be done about it.
Nonsense! We'll show you that IT can be really fun.

Wednesday, 3 June | 7:00 PM GWA Marketing-Stage

What is an IT Slam?

When I'm into poetry, I go to the poetry slam.
If I'm into science, I go to a Science Slam.
If I'm into IT, I go to tediously boring conferences.

No!
Then you go to the DSLAM – the IT Slam.
For IT professionals and ordinary people.

Beim DSLAM werden die Datenströme von mehreren DSL-Anschlüssen gebündelt und über das Kernnetz weitergeleitet.

Simply a good evening with IT, digitalisation, AI and cyber security. Six 10-minute talks with no advertising, no slides, no buzzwords. Just crisp real talk, exciting infotainment and a good dose of humour!

You've come to the right place

If you've wanted to get into IT for a while, or have been working in the industry for decades, or anywhere in between, then you've come to the right place.
The DSLAM is entertaining and educational not just for IT professionals, but also, intentionally, for ordinary people. 😉

The IT Slammers

Natascha Priemel
Director of Sales
North Data GmbH

Hello!

„I'm Natascha and at home in the data world. I stand on stages, entertain people, lead a team, and enjoy cuddling with my two tomcats after work.“

Henry Werner
Sales Engineer
Enginsight GmbH

That's what I do

„I am not a classic expert, but a passionate explorer in the world of cybersecurity.“

As a Sales Engineer at Enginsight and a speaker, he brings a breath of fresh air to dry security topics.

His mission: „I'm not showing you how to hack – I'm showing you how to understand security.“

With humour, live demos and tangible examples (like the legendary „Pizza Funki“), he makes IT security accessible to everyone.

Therese von Alten
Head of Business Development
Recyclotronix GmbH

I'll take care of it

Therese takes care of things that IT professionals would rather just forget.

As Head of Business Development at Recyclotronix, she's the person you call when the server rack is overflowing, the budget is bust and compliance is getting twitchy – ensuring old equipment leaves the building safely, cleanly and auditable.

Frank Panser
Brand ambassador
Tree Sponsorships Germany

My focus

„I act where I can make a difference and encourage others to join in.“

In doing so, I translate uncomfortable but necessary scientific and ecological realities into concrete, economically viable levers for action.

As a B2B marketing expert, I'm showing that sustainability isn't about sacrifice; it's a design flaw that we can now correct.

Alex Ulbricht
AI Evangelist

I am Alex

„AI Evangelist and keynote speaker. My hobbies: giving speeches, talking in general, and giving speeches to large audiences. And surfing.„

Steffen Lüning
Data protection comedian
Brandeis Digital GmbH

I am Steffen

„... and I come from the most beautiful city in Europe... from Herne.

I am an external data protection officer and a stand-up comedian.

So I do data protection comedy. Data protection topics as a stand-up comedy act.“

Reinhold Nawroth
Founder DSLAM
ITsocializer GmbH

I am Reinhold

IT specialists and cabaret artists.

I come from Hamburg and have lived in beautiful Leipzig for 10 years.

I know IT isn't funny and is often dry and boring.
I'll change that.

As a content creator, speaker, moderator for IT topics and, last but not least, as the inventor and host of the DSLAM®.
