Tamedia TX: Our children will have jobs that don't exist today
Tamedia TX, Tamedia's in-house conference for engineers and other technology aficionados, took place for the third time on June 13, 2017 at Tamedia's headquarters in Zurich.
The event is intended to promote the internal exchange of ideas on technology topics, and to network and inspire participants. This year, over 300 employees from the areas of web, mobile, product development and data processing took part.
In addition to over 20 internal speakers, "cyborg rights activist" Aral Balkan gave a keynote speech on the topic of "Privacy is Innovation", in which he pleaded for the right to control one's own data. Nicolas Bürer, Managing Director of the "digitalswitzerland" initiative, described the digital transformation and pointed out in his presentation, among other things, that around 65% of today's children will one day pursue professions that do not yet exist. Mathieu Henri, Senior Engineer at Microsoft, gave a creative coding demonstration live on stage in his afternoon keynote on the topic of "Art & Code". An overview of all presentations can be found on the TX event page: Tx.tamedia.ch.

Once again this year, outstanding digital work and projects in the areas of marketing, product development and technology will be honored. The "Tamedia Digital Hero" will also be awarded to a person for a special individual achievement. Internal digital teams can apply for the award until August 1, 2017. During this year's TX, the "Golden Cat Award" in the "Mobile Apps" category was already presented to the developers of the Doodle team.
