David Rowan, founding Editor in Chief of Wired magazine will deliver the opening keynote at FutureLink, taking place 5–7 June, in Munich.

His keynote presentation will focus on the latest digital advancements disrupting healthcare and explain how a digital mindset is critical to embrace new technology innovations.
