Collaboration and networking are highly important for business leaders to tackle modern enterprise challenges and find creative approaches to technology and growth. This is why many users are looking forward to events like the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2025 in Davos, Switzerland. There, key global and regional challenges, including geopolitical shocks, insights on how to improve living standards and stewardship toward a just and inclusive energy transition, will be discussed.
On this point, data management leader Data Migration International (DMI) will host two interconnected landmark events, Digital Lounge and Hackathon, in January 2025. With a focus on the value of collaboration for thought leadership, ERP Today hears from DMI about what users can expect to gain from these two events.

The Hackathon, on the other hand, is an event designed to allow participants to level up their skills by crafting solutions using AI, data science and tech. Split into groups of four, 32 top hackers will compete within a 44-hour window to create solutions to real-world problems and showcase their talents to the top C-suite.
Drawing on the Digital Lounge and Hackathon experiences over the past three years, DMI spokespersons shared that this time, the events will be “bigger than ever” and are expected to “foster collaboration, innovation and thought leadership”.
“I’m thrilled to join the exclusive DIGITAL LOUNGE @WEF in Davos – a gathering that goes beyond networking to become a true catalyst for innovation and collaboration. Bringing together the brightest minds in digital transformation, AI and enterprise technology, it’s set on the perfect stage: Davos,” said Thomas Failer, CEO of DMI.
He added: “With the breathtaking Swiss Alps as our backdrop, this is an unparalleled opportunity to exchange groundbreaking ideas and shape the future of data-driven enterprises.”
Isabel Steinhoff, the co-founder of the Metaverse and digital transformation consultancy Dimenteers and one of the attendees, also shared: “Davos during the World Economic Forum is always special, and the DIGITAL LOUNGE @WEF2025 will surely take it to the next level. I can’t wait to connect with fellow top executives, share insights and discuss the future of AI and digital transformation.”
