74th Annual Conference of the Deutscher Landkreistag with the participation of aconium GmbH

On July 9th, the German County Association hosted its 74th annual conference at the Maritim Seehotel on Timmendorfer Strand under the motto “Defying Corona: Land in sight again”. Over 120 participants, made up of district councillors and other officials, accepted the invitation to the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein. Influenced by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the focus of the conference program was on discussing possible solutions for the post-coronavirus period, which was opened by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister President Daniel Günther and the President of the German County Association Reinhard Sager. In the discussions and speeches that followed, the upcoming challenges in rural areas following the pandemic played a major role. At the same time, however, a great deal of attention was also paid to the structural strengths of rural communities, which must now be further developed after the pandemic in order to support rural areas in their competitiveness and attractiveness in the long term.

As part of an accompanying trade exhibition, aconium GmbH was also represented with its own information stand at the annual conference of the Deutscher Landkreistag. The employees on site advised interested guests on the various topics covered by aconium GmbH in the sectors of digitalization, energy, mobility, health and education. In particular, the newly founded Digital Education Competence Center was met with great interest by visitors to the stand, who were able to find out more about the IT guidelines for schools and the portfolio of services offered in terms of further and advanced training in the field of digital education.
