Press release

Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, September 11, 2025 – The SYNAXON Partner CEO Conference 2025 took place last week with approximately 210 participants. The focus was on the current challenges and future prospects of the IT industry. The event offered CEOs of system houses and IT service providers a forum for strategic insights, technological innovations, and intensive exchange with peers.

Positive sentiment among participants regarding business development in 2025

While various current market studies have reached conflicting conclusions, SYNAXON CEO Mark Schröder took the opportunity at the outset to gauge the mood among the partners present. The clear result: The vast majority of participants were optimistic and satisfied with business development in 2025. Although Schröder admits that this survey represents only a partial view, the positive atmosphere permeated the entire conference, making it clear at the SYNAXON Partner CEOs' Meeting that networking and solidarity are particularly important in uncertain times.

Mark Schröder: „As a service provider, we operate in a complex arena of requirements. This can overwhelm one person alone. Together we can manage everything, and that's why we should remain optimistic!“

Main topics of the conference

Market development & strategic orientation – Analysis of the current dynamics in the IT market as well as future prospects for IT service providers and system houses.
Artificial Intelligence & Automation – Use of AI in recruiting, IT support and marketing, legal frameworks and process automation in the system house business.
IT Security & Resilience – Protection against geopolitical risks, integration of modern security solutions and strengthening of European sovereignty.
Technological Innovations & Infrastructure – from Windows 11 and Copilot+ PCs to modern server landscapes and cloud and platform solutions.
Business Management & Organization – Strategies for succession, mental health, brand development and collaborative teamwork.

A successful event with a satisfactory outcome.

„With this year’s SYNAXON Partner Management Conference, we offered our partners a platform to exchange ideas on key industry topics and gain concrete insights for their own business development. The feedback from participants shows that we offered the right topics. However, with the number of participants growing year after year, we must consider leaving the SYNAXON headquarters in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock in 2026 and moving to a larger event location,“ summarizes Friedrich Pollert, Head of the SYNAXON Academy.

The date for the next SYNAXON partner management meeting has already been set for September 10, 2026; the location will be announced later.
