VISZ Summer Kick-off 2024

The main themes of the conference "VISZ Summer Kick-off: All Good Things Reserved - Data in a Green Field" were the relationship between data asset management, sustainability and digitalisation, with a special focus on the energy sector and cybersecurity. After the opening, Dr. László Windisch presented the data asset management practices of the State Audit Office of Hungary, followed by Dr. Károly Balázs Solymár, who spoke about the potential of energy data.

Péter Néz's presentation drew a parallel between sustainability and digitalisation, emphasising that sustainability is a new direction alongside digital innovation. This was followed by Attila Tóth's presentation on the evolution of SD-WAN technology, which addresses new levels of network connectivity.

Panel discussions and group discussions explored sustainability from a variety of perspectives. For example, Dr. Erzsébet Cserta's presentation focused on environmental aspects, while Janka Malatinszky discussed the role of internal control systems. Group discussions covered topics such as management change, data asset management and maintaining physical and mental health.

Afternoon presentations covered different aspects of sustainable security (Márta Majtényi), data management (Tamás Frisch) and Japanese methodologies (Tamás Pataki).

The final round table discussion of the day summarised the topics presented and discussed the issues raised during the day. Participants in the discussion, including Róbert Fritsch and András Tresch, explored current trends and future perspectives in sustainability and data asset management.

The event concluded with a social programme and dinner, and on the second day, participants visited the Siofok Storm Observatory.
