The theme of the conference - "People First: Constructing Digital Futures together" - focused on the need to combine technological progress with improving human life and inclusion. This was also the focus of the two conference presentations by the IDI team:
- "Balancing Risks and Opportunities in the Governance of Low Code Development Platforms": Luca Stegmann, Rebecca Berendorf (Wieland), Sina Zimmermann and Prof. Dr. Andy Weeger focused on Low Code Development Platforms (LPDP) - a form of application development for which no programming skills are required - and showed which mechanisms different organizations follow in the governance of LCDPs in order to make the best possible use of this tool for digital innovation.

- "Anger and Sadness - Coping Strategies to Manage Negative User Interaction on Instagram": Maximilian Haug, Julia Reiter and Prof. Dr. Heiko Gewald dealt with negative emotions on the Instagram platform. They investigated the effects of emotions with high and low arousal - anger and sadness - and determined which coping mechanisms are associated with each.
