CECIMO Spring Meetings 2019

Our members joined us for the CECIMO Spring Meetings in Rüschlikon, Switzerland, from 15 to 18 June 2019.

The programme was dense, but the agenda covered burning issues. Our interactive sessions focussed on the machinery directive, cybersecurity, macro-economic trends and additive manufacturing. Beside this, we invited high-level guests from business and politics, to participate in our main session to discuss with you “Artificial Intelligence and Skills”. Watch the video below that sums up speakers’ ideas and main takeaways.

It’s the day to experience nature, infrastructure, food, traditional sports and the culture of Switzerland. Do not miss the social programme. We start out a little early but there is no need to go for breakfast since it will be served in style en-route.
