Portal Systems Dialogue 2018

The Portal Systems Dialogue is back for a second year. Following the extremely positive response to the inaugural Dialogue in 2017 with our brand relaunch, we are once again offering you an exciting programme with great speakers, a partner exhibition and plenty of room for networking.

When: 08 November 2018; 11:00 to 20:00

Where: Instituto Cervantes, Chilehaus, 20095 Hamburg, Germany

Portal Systems Dialogue 2018 – The choice is yours


In up to three parallel sessions this year, you can expect to hear about the latest developments in our solutions and products, as well as testimonials from customer projects. There will also be exciting presentations on key technologies and developments that will shape the way we work in the future.

New to the programme is a dedicated series of presentations for those who want to get to the technical heart of our applications and tools. Including live, first-hand demos, straight from our product experts. And to ensure that the dialogue does not become a monologue, lively discussion is expressly encouraged.

We hope there will be something for everyone. No matter if you’re already a Portal Systems customer or partner, or if you’d like to learn more about how we work. Whether you want to exchange ideas with decision makers from other departments or prefer to dive into the depths of our information architecture. Let us inspire you, we look forward to seeing you!
