The Delta Campus, Berlin, Berlin, DE
About
One evening where Berlin's design communities come together to answer one question. Who are we designing for now?
AI answers before people reach the page, agents act on behalf of users, leadership picks the shiny thing before anyone tests it, and careers no longer move in straight lines. Every room on the night looks at that question from a different side.
What to expect
Talks, hands-on workshops and a closed room for design leads, running in parallel rooms on the 5th floor of The Delta Campus. Between and around the sessions, the foyer lounge is open all evening for networking, food and drinks, and tables from the partner communities.
The evening is free for everyone. Registration is required and approved, so we can keep a good mix of people in every room. Workshop seats are limited, and registration for the workshops opens one week before the event. We'll take photos during the evening. If you'd rather not appear in them, just tell the photographer.
