What connects secret codes, simulated worlds, and the charm of great leaders?
On this thought-provoking evening, we explore how encryption protects our truths, how virtual reality reshapes them, and how leadership can inspire us through both. From the digital to the deeply human—get ready for a night of insight, illusion, and influence.

Romance of Leadership
Prof. Dr. Paul Goldmann
(Professor at Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau)
Language: English
Leadership isn’t just about strategy and structure, it’s also about emotion, vision, and human connection. In this insightful talk, Prof. Goldmann explores the often-overlooked emotional dimension of leadership. Why are we drawn to charismatic leaders? How do the stories we tell about leadership shape our expectations, decisions, and behavior? Through compelling examples and thought-provoking analysis, this talk reveals how emotion and narrative play a central role in how we lead and how we choose who leads us.

Wie man Ordnung ins Chaos bringt – Clevere Algorithmen fürs Suchen und Sortieren
Prof. Dr. Tina Geweniger
(Professor at Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau)
Sprache: Deutsch
Ob in Bibliotheken, beim Online-Shopping oder in unseren Computern – überall begegnen uns Probleme des Suchens und Sortierens. Was für uns im Alltag oft selbstverständlich erscheint, beruht im Hintergrund auf cleveren algorithmischen Ideen. In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen unterhaltsamen und verständlichen Blick darauf, wie man mit einfachen, aber genialen Verfahren Ordnung ins digitale Chaos bringt. Von klassischen Sortiermethoden bis hin zu raffinierten Strategien, gezielt Informationen in riesigen Datenmengen aufzufinden – Algorithmen sind stille Helfer, die unsere Welt strukturieren.

Reality Reimagined: The Power of Virtual Reality & Artificial Intelligence
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sven Hellbach
(Professor at Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau.)
Language: English
Virtual Reality is no longer science fiction, it's a new way of experiencing the world. In this talk, we dive into how VR is changing the way we learn, play, and connect. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, these virtual spaces are becoming more intelligent, responsive, and human-like. Join us to explore the cutting edge of immersive technology and the future it promises.
