We want to make a difference in the quantum computing ecosystem – and to do that, we need to talk to each other. That’s why we created a completely new quantum computing exchange forum: much more compact, more appealing and more focussed. A place that brings together the most exciting minds in quantum computing from across the ecosystem and then gets them talking. Above all, we wanted to be more effective. Therefore: a new name, a new concept and a live design that makes it clear at every point that we are serious about IMPACT and that it happens in many different ways. Many thanks to everyone who took part and made this day a unique experience.

After the AFQC is – this year even more than usual – before the AFQC: We have given ourselves a year to fix the problems we have worked out together. The first step (once we can think straight again) will be to consolidate the work results from the three arenas, define roles and then write our promised impact white paper. This won’t happen overnight, but the important thing is that we have started moving.
