become a partner i really liked the selection of speakers also in terms of their attitude toward ai it gave a great overview of how different organizations and individuals approach this hot topic i m also a fan of the room lighting colors it created a great atmosphere and i started thinking of the rooms simply by their color now we re going to the red one that it brings together people from the industry so you can meet up with friends and get to know new people the coffee vouchers are a big plus really great coffee collecting stickers for prizes is also really cool the design and book booths are a big plus too it s a shame there are so few great organization the website worked well and the agenda in the app was very nicely organized everything was clear and easy to follow i had no trouble navigating from the moment i logged in right until the end of the event i hope materials will be available so i can watch all the sessions every topic in every talk was really interesting and the tips and insights from every speaker were awesome people are amazing i had so many good chats and handshakes and everything is so well organised nice venue lots of talks supportive mobile app fantastic guests adequate timing everything happening on time super comfy chairs in the research room design fair and startup zone giving possibility to talk to artists and the entrepreneurs nice venue helpful team poland design community inviting design stars organization at a top level good venue the app was a plus that the conference showed the diversity of perspectives in the product market today which was manifested through the speakers sometimes counter argumenting each other really strong key note speakers good organization of live recordings with 3 tabs which allows easily to switch and check
