With this first presentation of the new Rotarian year we are continuing our coverage of AI in different aspects of life. Katharina Form, Strategy Business Development at FLAYR (a creative content agency located in Munich and Zurich) and Andreas Fuss, founder and managing director of FLAYR, talked about AI as a friend, opportunity, and accelerator in advertising. They presented successful and critical use cases of AI. This leads to the conclusion that you always need a human with a good creative sense and expertise in the loop in order to curate what AI offers you, but the development has a breathtaking speed. One of the highlights at the end of the lecture was the presentation of a Rotary song that was created by an artificial intelligence during our meeting with the keywords provided by our members.

We are happy that our friends from our partner club RC Milan-International-Net together with a member from RC Pistoia Montecatini Terme visited us to foster our fellowship. Munich's love of Italy goes back to the Wittelsbachs' enthusiasm for Italian Renaissance art and culture. Visible for example at the tower of Munichs “Alten Hof” where you can find the Milan coat of arms. Much more sophisticated we immersed into the Italian influence in Munich's history and architecture with the help of Bettina Lerchenmüller (very much recommended by us). After an aperitif at the Café Armani experiencing modern Italian lifestyle we finished the day traditionally in Bavarian style at the Spartenhaus.

Thank you to the leadership team of the museum for guiding us so interesting though several aspects of mobility in their house. Finaly, we celebrated the awards at the “Wirtshaus am Bavariapark”.
