Labs Talk Podcast and Live Streams
A Year of Sharing Knowledge
2024 was a pivotal year for Labs Talk. In the middle of the year, we transitioned from a LinkedIn-based format to a more professional, open and (for us) easier to use YouTube setup, taking full control of our production process. While we lost the massive follower size of the LinkedIn channel, we’re now happy that our YouTube channel easily shows all past and future live shows - and we’re growing.. have you already subscribed to our Labs Talk channel?
Finding our content after a stream on LinkedIn was always a pain, so we’re happy that we can now easily also point to our domain labstalk.dev, which for now simply redirects to our YouTube channel. By streamlining our workflow and leveraging tools like Canva, we were able to focus on guests and content. Another way to quickly get news about all new episodes is here on SubStack - I just created the Labs Talk section, which you can also subscribe to separately!
A Year in Review: Key Topics and Guests
2024 was a year of exploration and innovation. We delved into a wide range of topics, from cutting-edge technologies to industry trends. Here are some highlights:
Spatial Computing: We explored the future of spatial computing with experts from Meta, HTC, Henkel, and LMU. See episode 1 right here and still on LinkedIn.
Thank you, Sarai Rozen, Bastian Schuetz, Fabian Nappenbach, Rodolfo Quijano and Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt!Sustainability: We discussed sustainability initiatives and the role of technology in addressing climate change. Watch our sustainability episode.
Thank you Carina Legl, Miguel Valenzuela and Amy Ingram!Web3 and Blockchain: We examined the potential of Web3 and blockchain technologies to revolutionize industries.
Thank you Anna Graf, Magnus Jones, Tom Haverland, Scott Young and Lukas Beckenbauer and Vicktoria Klich!AI and Robotics: We explored the latest advancements in AI, from generative AI to embodied AI and robotics!
Thank you Clas Neumann, Alona Kharchenko, Lisbeth Kreitmayr, Rene Schulte and Oliver Hausdoerfer!Customer Experience: We discussed strategies for enhancing customer experiences in the digital age.
Special kudos to (again!) Anna Graf and Magnus Jones - and very often we added some Customer Experience questions to the other shows, too, as both Andreas and me simply live in this world.
Besides these episodes, we also explored other topics such as Women in Tech, IoT, Security and Communities of Practice. Special thanks to Verena Laumayer, Marc Pous, Marielle Ehrmann, Franziska Tobisch and Prof. Dr Florian Matthes!
By inviting a diverse range of guests, including industry experts, academics, and thought leaders, we were able to provide our audience with valuable insights and perspectives.
And we had FUN!
A Live Streaming Friendship
The last couple years of Labs Talk wouldn't have been possible without my co-host, Andreas Neumeier. Together, we've not only created engaging content but also forged a strong friendship.
Beyond the screen, we've shared countless adventures, from conquering the TransAlp cycling challenge to participating in local running races. Our shared passion for fitness and outdoor activities has strengthened our bond and provided a much-needed balance to our busy work lives.
As we move forward, we're excited to continue our collaboration and bring even more exciting content to our audience. We're grateful for the support and engagement of our viewers, and we look forward to many more years of sharing knowledge and laughter.
And a special shoutout to Joern Sebesse - he’s supporting our podcast with meaningful connections for a long time already. You can see him also in the pictures above as he’s an even more ambitious runner. Thx so much!
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we move into 2025, we're excited to continue our journey of sharing knowledge and fostering innovation. We're committed to delivering high-quality content that informs, inspires, and entertains our audience.
A must watch episode for this year will be our recap 2024 episode - with SAP Labs Munich General Manager Stefan Wagner! We’ll not only recap 2024, but of course also give you a sneak peak into 2025.
In Q1 2025, we’ll be focusing on Sports & Technology :-) We’re really thrilled as this is a topic that really moves us. Both being active runners and cyclists, we love to explore the tech aspects of sports and now it collides with business and customer engagement.
Stay tuned for more exciting episodes, engaging discussions, and groundbreaking insights.
