Keynotes with a futuristic focus and a humanoid robot
In May 2025, we were present at two events – featuring two keynotes by Nick Sohnemann and our humanoid robot *Otto* live on stage. Together, we took the audience on a journey into the world of moonshots, technological transformation, and the future of work.
- Time: May 12–14, 2025
- Challenge: Making complex future topics tangible and bringing them to life – for both developers and decision-makers in HR and tech environments.
- Solution: Two story-driven keynotes, supported by the humanoid robot "Otto." Interactive experiences in a Tech Corner and personal conversations centered around futuristic technologies.
- Value: Hands-on technology – from the AI robot on stage to the practical experience with smart glasses. Visitors could not only see the future, but actively experience it – emotionally, informatively, and inspiringly.

QAware Engineering Camp 2025
Location: Ingolstadt | Keynote Title: “Fly me to the Moonshot”
The Engineering Camp blended a festival atmosphere with a developer spirit. In his keynote, Nick delivered a clear message: moonshots over micro-steps. Visionary thinking as the new standard for innovation.
Keynote Highlights:
-
What is a moonshot – and why do we need it now more than ever?
-
Real-world examples from disruptive companies
-
Personality traits of successful moonshot thinkers
Interactive On-Site Experiences:
- Tech Corner feat. QAware:
- Even Realities Smart Glasses G1 – try out Spatial Computing
- “Otto,” the humanoid robot – live in action, interacting and sharing the stage with Nick
Participants had the opportunity to explore new technologies firsthand, experiment on their own, and discuss how these innovations could be applied in their work environment.
ATOSS Workforce Management Day 2025
Location: München-Ismaning |Keynote Title: “Highway to Hell or Future?”
How can productive work succeed in a world of constant change? With this question, Nick launched his second keynote of the day – an inspiring journey from today’s pessimism toward actively shaping the future.
Key Messages of the Keynote:
-
Two paths: paralysis through complexity or breakthrough via new models
-
MediaMarkt as a case study in successful digital transformation
-
Trends such as humanoid robots, AI, the circular economy, and new leadership logics
Highlight:
Once again, Otto took the stage, sparking conversation, selfies, and a real future vibe. Interaction with the humanoid robot wasn’t just a crowd magnet – it was a direct invitation to engage with the future of work.
CONCLUSION
Both events demonstrated in their own way: future technologies need a stage and a dialogue.
Whether at a developer camp or an HR conference – with the right mix of storytelling, technology, and interaction, a vision becomes an experience.
