President Klaus Wächter (Siemens), Vice President Brad Hill (Honeywell) and Treasurer Karl Heinz Belser (Johnson Controls) were re-elected. Frank Schubert (Beckhoff) was elected to succeed Professor Peter Fischer (Dortmund University of Applied Sciences) as Spokesman of the Advisory Board. Roland Schönebeck (GEZE) strengthened the BIG-EU Advisory Board as a new member. Frank Schubert (Beckhoff), Hubert Fritsch (Distech Controls) and Dan Napar (Siemens) were re-elected to the Advisory Board. The sponsor representatives Sergio Bellano (Johnson Controls), Thomas Kurowski (Siemens), Dario Sala (Honeywell) and Volker Röhl (STRABAG) have a permanent seat on the advisory board. Nils Gunnar Fritz and his deputy Tobias Kleine were elected to head the Marketing working group.
