novoinsight 2026

16th November 2026

We are delighted to invite you to the 20th novoinsight on 5 November 2025 in Hamburg!
This year’s theme is “The Rise of the AI Agents” – welcome to a new era of intelligent assistance.

The 20th edition of our annual event promises to be a true highlight: we’re celebrating 25 years of novomind, unveiling an exciting new AI product, and hosting Sascha Lobo, who will deliver the keynote address.

AI agents are already transforming the way we work in Digital Commerce and Customer Service – taking on tasks, anticipating needs, and collaborating seamlessly with people. But how can they be successfully integrated into everyday work? You’ll find answers in engaging talks, panel discussions, and real-world use cases presented by our customers, partners, and novomind experts.

And because 25 years deserve a proper celebration: as always, the evening continues at the GAGA Club with networking, great drinks, and plenty of opportunities for meaningful conversations.

Look forward to fresh ideas and inspiration, engaging discussions and insightful presentations from novomind experts, customers, partners and external speakers in the fields of Digital Commerce and Customer Service. You can also look forward to a great after-show party in Hamburg.
