Creative Fair at #CTS26

Want to increase your visibility? Attract new customers? Make smart use of AI? Improve your customer experience? Or are you looking for fresh ideas for products, spaces, communication, or collaboration? Then don’t miss the Creative Fair at the Creative Transformation Summit 2026.

A creative fair where you set the agenda: In interactive Zoom breakout sessions, you’ll meet creative experts from a wide range of disciplines within the creative industries. You decide for yourself which sessions you’d like to attend, what questions to bring, and which topics are most relevant to your company right now.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Practical tools, methods, and approaches for your day-to-day business operations
• Direct interaction with experienced creative professionals
• New Perspectives on Current Challenges
• Ideas for Future Projects and Collaborations
• Two breakout sessions of your choice, each with a different focus

And if you can’t decide between several exciting sessions: After the summit, all participants will receive a virtual goodie bag containing the most important information, tools, and materials from all the breakout rooms.

These creative experts are waiting for you:

• René Andritsch (Opens in a new tab or window) highlights why accessibility is an often-overlooked economic factor. Accessibility in communication tools is still a rarity. He demonstrates how accessible digital content can improve reach, user-friendliness, and visibility, and what added value it creates for companies, customers, and potential new target audiences. Accessible PDFs aren’t just used by people with disabilities; they can also have a positive impact on your own company.
• Michael Hochleitner of Typejockeys (Opens in a new tab or window) shows how typefaces give brands a voice. They shape how a company is perceived, create brand recognition, and can become a powerful part of a company’s identity. In his session, Michael uses concrete examples to illustrate what a custom typeface solution can do for companies, where its added value lies compared to standard typefaces, and why it’s worth paying attention to typography—especially when it comes to branding.
• Johanna Franziska Kriks (Opens in a new tab or window) shows how companies can raise their profile and build stronger connections with their customers through authentic stories. Together , participants explore what really matters when it comes to photos and videos, why human creativity is becoming increasingly important, and how compelling stories about products, services, and companies are created. Participants will learn why it’s not expensive technology but good stories that make the difference, and they’ll receive practical tips for vibrant and authentic communication.
• Feysula Milenkovic of Feysmedia (Opens in a new tab or window) shows how companies can identify repetitive tasks and save time through simple automation. Which of your daily tasks could you delegate, and how? When is AI necessary, and when is traditional automation sufficient? Together, you’ll examine a workflow and distinguish between clearly defined steps and tasks that require interpretation. You’ll learn how to identify suitable starting points, estimate the effort involved, and get started with a manageable automation project.
• Magdalena Kim Novak of NUVISIA (Opens in a new tab or window) shows how companies and individuals can not only envision the future but also bring it to life. Using AI, storytelling, and experience design, she illustrates how abstract visions of the future give rise to concrete ideas and new avenues for action. Participants gain insights into leadership, innovation, and transformation and experience how a vivid vision of the future can foster direction, courage, and a willingness to change.
• Jennifer Neuhauser of Lieblingsplan (Opens in a new tab or window) demonstrates how work environments can influence employees’ well-being, health, and satisfaction. Using practical examples, she explains which factors contribute to a workplace where people enjoy working and remain motivated over the long term. Participants will gain insights into how they can strategically improve their work environment, thereby enhancing both its appeal and employee retention.
• Lisa Schamschula (Opens in a new tab or window) explains how the right mix of in-house design and professional expertise can lead to your company’s success— smart instead of expensive. In her session, she shows how you can act as the “architect” of your own branding processes. Learn how to strategically combine modern tools (Canva & Affinity) to work efficiently in your day-to-day operations without compromising professionalism, as well as when doing it yourself saves money and where targeted external expertise is essential in the process to avoid costly mistakes.
• Marcel Stöckl of Smart Boost (Opens in a new tab or window) demonstrates how companies can develop their own digital applications using simple AI tools—without any programming knowledge. Using a real-world example, he clearly explains how a tedious task can be transformed, step by step, into a helpful tool. Using ChatGPT and Sites, requirements are defined, improvements are tested, and results are reviewed. Participants receive concrete suggestions on how to reevaluate their own processes and develop initial AI-powered solutions for their companies.
• Ina Täubl, ROSIINA (Opens in a new tab or window), demonstrates how spaces can bring corporate culture to life, make brands tangible, and support change. Together , we’ll explore how a company’s values, personality, and vision can be translated into the design of workspaces and customer areas. Through concrete examples and interactive activities, participants gain new perspectives on the impact of their spaces and learn how these spaces can build trust, empower employees, and inspire customers.
• Corinna Wopienka (Opens in a new tab or window) shows how businesses can use Instagram Reels to increase their visibility, expand their reach, and attract new customers. In this session, you’ll learn why Reels on Instagram are essential for reaching new customers and retaining existing ones. You’ll learn how, as a sole proprietor or small business, you can create Reels content that works without a lot of equipment. After the session, you’ll have the basics you need to get started on your first Reel. Participants will discover what kinds of content grab attention, build trust, and make it easier to get started with creating Reels.

You decide which perspectives you’d like to explore.

What makes the Creative Fair special is that it isn’t about traditional presentations or sales pitches.

You can ask questions, discuss challenges, explore new ways of thinking, and engage directly with experts. In the process, you might discover exactly the perspective your company needs right now to move forward.

After all, change often begins with a single good question. Or with an idea you wouldn’t have come up with on your own.

Creative Transformation Summit #CTS26

In addition to the Creative Fair, you can look forward to three Creative Transformation Stories and a keynote by Stefan Lassnig, practical tools and methods, and a digital goodie bag. Because sometimes transformation doesn’t start with a grand plan—it begins, rather, with a perspective you haven’t yet considered yourself.
