Germany’s leading conference at the intersection of Product, Engineering and UX/Design
We believe that software product people are the ones that create the future. Successful digital products are developed by teams at the intersection of Engineering, Product, UX/Design & Business. Digitale Leute Summit is the only cross-functional professional education and networking event focused on software product development.
In two days, Software Engineers, UX-Designers, Product- and Digital Managers learn how to develop better software products from international speakers. Get deep insights into the tools, tactics, and methods of professionals developing digital products in large-scale environments. Learn how these individuals and organizations find unique solutions to their digital challenges and get pragmatic advice for your daily work.
In talks and interviews, international experts give insights in their daily work in interdisciplinary teams. The audience will learn first-hand which tools and tactics can be used to develop better digital products.
The tool stack for people from Product, Engineering and UX Design has grown exponentially. In a dedicated 40-minute Tech Demo, software product companies will show how to efficiently use their software tool in your daily workflows.
Our partners will present their company and job vacancies to you, our tech community. You will get special insights into their daily work and team.
Our partners will present their products, services and open job positions to you. You can stroll through the partner area and discover new exciting companies with the possibility to make an appointment in advance via our conference app.
To wrap up a perfect day, we offer all attendees the chance to network and connect in a laid-back atmosphere over drinks and snacks after the official agenda.
Our full-day workshops are hands-on expert sessions with a high level of interaction. We are planning six simultaneous workshops covering topics relevant to everyone working in cross-functional teams.
