Keynote
25 MinA sharp, opinionated opening or closing take on where the discipline is heading. One speaker, no Q&A slot.
Breakout Session

What we look for
Practitioners, not pitches.
- Built on real projects, not roadmaps.
- Concrete results, lessons learned, what you'd do differently.
- No product pitches. Tools may be named, not sold.
- Speakers attend in person in Düsseldorf.
First time speaking?
Good. Some of the best 2026 sessions were first-time speakers. The program committee pairs you with a mentor from Deloitte or NANGA Systems.
