The historic Villa La Collina and modern conference academy used to be the sommer residence of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany. Today, it is a unique conference location, where world topics are being discussed. Villa La Collina is chosen for as the 8th conference on the DEBEST international conference series, which took place with Proferssor Lotfi Zadeh at Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, the heart of Silicon Valley.

Like with Allied Arts Guild (by the Lucy Packard Foundation), Villa La Collina allows for the intended mix between presentations, workshops, and follow up meetings. Thus, DEBEST 2023 is connected to the prescious ecosystem, which we value and like to contribute to with our Digital Ecosystems.

Villa La Collina is run under the patronage of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Here some impressions of the unique setup (in German only, but pictures are worth a thousend words):
