Handing over a business is one of the most significant decisions in an entrepreneur's life – emotionally, strategically, and financially. At the cDinner Succession on March 11, 2026, in Braunschweig, we'll explore this topic firsthand. Thomas Löhr, expert in business succession, guides us through an interactive evening with a special highlight: A buyer-seller duo that successfully completed a business succession shares their experiences, challenges, and key learnings in an open interview. This cDinner addresses founders, entrepreneurs, managing directors, investors, and especially business owners considering succession – whether as transferors or successors – across all industries. The exact venue (restaurant) will be announced after registration. Participation is free of charge, with each guest paying for their own order.

Wikipedia celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026. What began as a visionary experiment – making knowledge freely accessible through collective intelligence – is now one of the world's most visited websites. But as we celebrate this milestone, Wikipedia faces perhaps its greatest challenge: Artificial Intelligence. AI systems train on Wikipedia content, generate articles in seconds, and answer questions that once required painstaking human research. Is this the natural next step – or the beginning of the end for human-curated truth? Michael E. Kuntze, a long-standing committed member of the Wikipedia community, criminal defense lawyer, and legal advisor, takes us on a journey through 25 years of collective knowledge work and poses the central question: What do we lose when algorithms take over writing history? Who should attend? CEOs, founders, executives, investors, and academics – across all industries. Where? The venue in Hannover will be announced after registration. Cost? Participation is free. Each attendee pays for their own order. Join us as we discuss the future of knowledge – between human wisdom and machine intelligence.
