The SPARK B2B Summit: highlights, insights and inspiring discussions
The first SPARK B2B Summit celebrated its premiere on 24 October 2024. The event was streamed live on our RYZE event platform from a cosy studio in Cologne. Participants followed the 15-minute keynote speeches by renowned experts on screen and were then able to join the discussion rounds on the topics via live chat.

Inspiring speakers and exciting impulses
A varied programme from the fields of marketing, sales, tech, strategy, creative, data and AI was put together in a stream lasting around two and a half hours and played out in exciting presentations.

Ingo Hofmann from Ibexa revealed the "secret sauce" of successful B2B websites, and Allison Ziehr from HubSpot spoke about scaling CRM systems in the enterprise sector.
