Our Speakers – Impulses from the Center of the Field

Rainer Maria Salzgeber

Presenter and sports journalist, Swiss Television SRF

"As a journalist and presenter, I have been accompanying top athletes on their way to the top of the world for 30 years. If you look back, you are quickly overtaken or mercilessly left behind. Nevertheless, when looking forward, it is also important to incorporate past experiences. Because only those who know the past and respect the present can play a decisive role in shaping the future...! As a moderator from outside the industry, I am particularly looking forward to the trend-setting inputs and prospects of the Zukunftsarena."
