UX/Design Track: Fixing product experience debt: from “broken windows” to business growth

Product quality often represents untapped potential within many organisations. Karolina bets your team also has a dirty laundry of issues that need fixing, but there is never a right moment or alignment to address them.
This talk explores how to transform the often daunting and ambiguous topic of quality into something tangible and actionable. Karolina will unpack the concept of experience debt, highlighting its impact on business growth. She will share practical strategies on how to raise the quality bar, gain organisational buy-in, and course correct compromises made along the way while limiting them to happen in the future. Additionally, she will dive into how to operationalize those concepts, turning them into just enough process that teams can easily adopt without burden, ensuring a balanced effort-to-impact ratio.


Itamar Medeiros, VP Design Strategy, SAP SuccessFactors at SAP.

UX/Design Track: Transforming Product Roadmaps: Ditch the Feature Factory, Embrace User Needs with Jobs-to-be-Done

Learn how to prioritize product features that truly address the fundamental reasons why users turn to your product, instead of relying on an internal wish list. Itamar will show you an approach used at SAP to bridge the gap between design, strategy, and product leadership and empowering you to influence backlog grooming and craft user-centric roadmaps.

In this talk, he will demonstrate how the Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) framework can transform how you impact product roadmaps. With this framework, you will become a User Champion who can confidently advocate for user needs during roadmap planning and prioritize features based on what truly matters to your users. You will also be able to build roadmaps that address the fundamental “jobs” users are trying to accomplish, moving from outputs to outcomes.

Say goodbye to feeling like a passenger on a feature factory train! Attend this session and equip yourself with the tools to stop the feature factory and start building user-centric products!


Laura Müller, Head of UX/UI at Henkel.

GenAI is everywhere. But how do UX teams implement GenAI beyond buzzwords. In this talk, Laura will deep dive into the research structure of her team and introduce the concept of AIgents. She will show her framework to determine which UX process adoptions create value for product design and how to test tools. She will give hands-on tips on keeping your team motivated in a field that is ever-changing. With a critical eye, she will give her perspective on the future of UX.

UX/Design Track: How Data-Driven Research and Collaborations Across Disciplines Can Drive Strategy

Do your stakeholders sometimes think they know what to build before they understand research findings? Have you been asked to drive strategy and you don’t know where to start? In this talk, Jen will share tips and tricks from her experiences leading teams and projects at Meta and Google on how to influence strategy and stakeholders with research data. She will share how to best communicate with stakeholders, how to build and foster relationships, and how combining quantitative and qualitative data can be a powerful method to educate about users, uncover opportunities, and drive strategy.

Attendees will gain knowledge in combining qualitative and quantitative data to engage and influence stakeholders, using mixed methods to help stakeholders understand insights, and communicating influentially with clients and stakeholders.
