Buzzwords everywhere
AI, NIS2, digitalisation. Nobody tells you which of these will really affect your business next year.
Networking evening for decision-makers
Wine & IT – one evening, three topics, clear answers for your business.
Three short practical talks (for example “Order first, then AI”), your questions answered, and conversations with business owners from the region.
- Three talks of 15 minutes each – not a lecture marathon.
- No sales pitch, no product demo.
- Business owners from the region around one table.
Reserve a place
Registration with confirmation and calendar entry.
Why this evening
You want to know what AI and security actually mean for your business
In concrete terms – not as a trend talk and not in jargon.
Sales events in disguise
You sign up for a professional evening and end up in a product demo. The follow-up calls come afterwards.
No time for the basics
A full-day seminar is out of the question. Two hours in the evening with other business owners is not.
The programme
Two to three hours, clearly structured.
Arrival
Welcome, a glass of wine from the region, a short round of introductions.
Three talks
About 15 minutes each on AI in the business, IT security and digitalising processes.
Your questions
An open round. Whatever you bring gets discussed – even the uncomfortable parts.
Conversations
The real point of the evening: talking to other businesses from the region.
Date, venue and places
The date and venue are not fixed yet. As soon as both are settled, they will appear here and everyone registered will be informed.
The number of places is limited so that real conversations stay possible. We will only state a number once the venue is confirmed – you will not find an invented “only 3 places left” counter here.
Attendance is free. All you need to bring are your questions.
Date, venue and places
The evening
How the evening runs
So you know what you are signing up for – and when you will be home.
There is no sales part and no closing round where anyone is meant to sign something.
How the evening works
You bring the questions, we take care of the rest
A networking evening works when nobody has to organise anything except getting there.
What you bring
- One question from your business that you have been carrying around for a while.
- Time until roughly 10 pm – leaving earlier is no problem.
- If you like, a colleague or a business partner.
What we do
- Three short impulses from practice, not product talks.
- Wine and something to eat, included.
- A round where every question gets its turn, including the supposedly simple one.
- Afterwards the material and the answers that stayed open.
There is no sales part. If you want something from us afterwards, you get in touch – not the other way round.
Who invites you
A regional business, not an event agency
The evening is not run by an agency. It comes from people who look after IT during the day and hear the same questions in the evening.
- In the region since 2016, owner-managed.
- The impulses are given by the people who also run the systems.
- No external exhibitors, no stand fees, no sponsor slots.
- The guest list stays in-house and is not passed on.
- Data centre
- KÜS DATA, Losheim am See
- Operator
- Local-IT-Partner GmbH
- In business since
- 2016
Photos are only taken if everyone in the picture agrees – you tell us when you arrive.
At the estate
We know the difference between harvest and the rest of the year
For six weeks a year nobody at an estate sits at a desk. A solution that only works between November and March is no help to you.
So we look at what has to keep running during the harvest and what can wait. After that it is clear which technology survives the autumn and which you can do without.
- A visit that covers vineyard, cellar and office.
- Maintenance planned outside the harvest, not in the middle of it.
- We travel along the Moselle, Saar and Upper Moselle, at short notice too.
Registration and data
What happens with your registration
Short and complete, so you can sign up without hunting for the small print.
- We need your name, your company and one way to reach you – nothing else.
- We use it for this evening and the follow-up, not for a mailing list.
- Only the people organising the evening see the guest list.
- Cancelling is informal, by email or phone, up to the day before.
- After the follow-up we delete the registration data unless you ask otherwise.
- If photos are taken we ask beforehand and you can object at any time.

Client portals
How documents arrive complete and on time.

Managing Director, Local-IT-Partner GmbH
I talk about what has worked for our clients and what has not. Nothing is sold that evening – that is what appointments are for.
Who is there that evening
The people at the evening are the ones who pick up later
The evening is not a sales appointment. Whoever talks to you that evening is also the one who later looks at the machine in your office — starting with Frank Schenkewitz.
- No presentation, no stand fee, no follow-up call unless you ask for one.
- We do not bring anyone along whose job is selling.
- You receive the material after the evening, with or without a conversation.
Frequently asked questions

Nothing. The evening is free, drinks included.

No. There is no product demo and no sales block. If you want a conversation afterwards, you will find a booking link in the follow-up – we do not call you unasked.
May I bring someone?
Yes, one guest is fine. Please mention it when you register so we can plan.
Where can I park?
That depends on the venue, which is not fixed yet. As soon as it is, everyone who has registered receives directions and parking information.
Who is the evening for?
Managing directors and decision-makers from businesses in the Saar-Obermosel region, Trier, Saarland and Luxembourg. No technical background needed.
Will photos be taken?
Only with consent. If you prefer not to be photographed, just say so on the evening.
