Decision makers from business, research, and politics now have both the opportunity and the duty to guide the responsible implementation of AI in the workplace. But what is important? How can AI be used to benefit our society? As a company that puts people first, at the PINKTUM Congress, we will offer insights into the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
The PINKTUM Congress combines decades of leadership, organizational, and personnel development experience with the expertise of leading AI and EdTech experts. PINKTUM’s reputation as a leading global EdTech company in the field of Responsible AI is built on these two foundational pillars.
Host Alois Krtil will gather internationally renowned speakers in Hamburg. We invite you to join us to explore the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow at the intersection of AI and humanity.
How should artificial intelligence change our world? What does this change mean for employees, and how can they best prepare for it? The stakes are high. Under the motto “Proactive – Shaping Responsible AI,” we invite decision makers to actively engage in the discussion and explore how they can contribute to using AI for the greater good of society.
AI affects us all. Those eager to foster a responsible approach to AI within their organizations will discover inspiration and a top-class network at the PINKTUM Congress.

TO COME
As one of Europe's leading EdTech companies, we want to take responsibility and act as a role model by pioneering the use of AI to drive further education. With the PINKTUM Congress, we are mobilizing an international community to jointly shape, reflect on and learn from the dynamic development of human-centric AI.
Alois Krtil, CTO PINKTUM, is one of the leading AI experts in Germany. He is convinced that Responsible AI offers Europe excellent opportunities to take a leading role in the development and application of artificial intelligence globally.
Companies should use the AI revolution to put human values at the center. This is sustainable for the good of society and the success of the company. This requires exchange and ideas to get started.
Joachim Pawlik, CEO PAWLIK Group and PINKTUM, wants to use the PINKTUM Congress to build a bridge from today to the new world and bring together leading AI voices and entrepreneurs.
The PINKTUM Congress is hosted at the Opernloft Hamburg, located in the Altona district’s historic England ferry terminal. This unique theater, known for making opera and classical music more accessible, features high ceilings and expansive glass surfaces offering Elbe views. It’s become a key cultural institution in Hamburg. We’re thrilled to present our alternative program in such an evocative setting, equipped with top-notch technical facilities.
The advent of groundbreaking language models like ChatGPT at the end of 2022 signalled an impending AI revolution in the workplace. Inspired by a rich legacy of congresses, the concept of a congress dedicated to Responsible AI swiftly emerged to address this transformative shift.
Since 2002, PAWLIK, PINKTUM’s parent company, has hosted a premier lecture series in the German-speaking world, addressing the dynamic between people and work for managers. Starting in 2024, this dialogue will expand to include international experts, focusing on AI.
The PINKTUM Congress combines decades of leadership, organizational, and personnel development experience with leading AI and EdTech expertise. This dual foundation cements PINKTUM’s status as a global frontrunner in Responsible AI within the EdTech sector.
