]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:00:00 GMT ReThink Everything! SIG: Show Me the ROI: Cutting Through the AI Spending Hype https://members.simnet.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2066321 https://members.simnet.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2066321

 

AI spending is climbing fast, but value is harder to prove. Uber burned through its annual AI budget in months. Starbucks scrapped a multi-year AI inventory tool. Token-based pricing makes costs unpredictable, and drawing a straight line from investment to outcome has proven tougher than anyone expected.

Join an AMA moderated by SIM, with Billy Boozer, CTO at Dualboot Partners, responding to your situations rather than working through a prepared script. When you register, you'll receive a short issues paper and self-assessment. Come ready to talk, not just listen.

No vendor pitches. No sanitized success stories. Just honest dialogue grounded in what you're actually navigating.

]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:00:00 GMT ReThink Everything! SIG: Post-Quantum Cryptography: What Tech Leaders Need to Act on Today https://members.simnet.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2064065 https://members.simnet.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2064065

 

RTE typically looks 3 to 5 years ahead — time enough to watch, learn, and prepare. Post-quantum cryptography doesn’t fit that pattern.
 
The algorithms capable of breaking today’s encryption already exist. Quantum computers powerful enough to use them are still years away. But the preparation window for enterprises — migrating cryptographic infrastructure, updating identity systems, securing long-lived data — is measured in years too. Organizations that wait for the threat to materialize will find the window has closed.
 
In this session, Dr. Michael Tagscherer, Group CTO at Giesecke+Devrient, brings a practitioner’s perspective that goes well beyond the NIST standards. Drawing on G+D’s experience securing some of the world’s most critical digital infrastructure — across financial systems, government identity programs, and connected devices — he will cut through the noise on timelines, separate what your vendors will genuinely cover from what requires your own active decisions, and share what organizations that have already started look like compared to those that haven’t.

 

 

Dr.-Ing. Michael Tagscherer is Group CTO of Giesecke+Devrient, responsible for the company’s technological direction and long-term innovation. He has held global leadership roles at G+D since 2001, with deep expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and post-quantum cryptography. He holds a degree in computer science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), with a focus on applied AI and machine learning. Dr. Tagscherer serves on several technology advisory boards.
