One afternoon. A conversation you can't get anywhere else.
The SVA Leadership Roundtable connects industry perspective with SVA expertise in a working session focused on what matters most to the leaders in the room. It's a high-value experience built to strengthen relationships, surface real customer needs, and lay the foundation for continued engagement.
Invitation-only. Curated, not crowded.
A deliberately intimate group of IT and technology leaders — every voice in the room is heard, and every conversation is relevant.

Sit at the table with CTO Joachim Schmitz and GM Anne-Kathrin Boeckle. Solution conversations tailored to your individual priorities — not a pitch deck.

Then take the wheel — the BMW Driving Experience

As a guest of SVA, you'll take part in the BMW Performance Center Driving Experience — a hands-on, professional driving program at one of the world's premier driver-training facilities. No pitch decks, no ballroom — just the road, a BMW M car, and the people you spent the afternoon with.
