Her topic: Productivity Lessons from a People Manager.

Bhavya currently works as Senior Product Manager at Nike. Before Nike, she has worked at Philips for 8 years mostly in IoT in personal healthcare space. Her passion to create the best user experiences has inspired her to study behavioural psychology. Her topic will be: How apps can help build healthy habits. So if you're into product and want to learn how to increase usage, but also into behavioural psychology and ethics, you have to check this out.

Josu is a Product Lead at Mobimeo. He is a Telecommunications Engineer with more than ten years of experience in software development and product management. His areas of expertise are mobile apps, data-driven startups, UX, CX, Scrum Master and team leadership. His topic is: In roadmaps we (don't) trust. Come see if roadmaps are worth it, or better said how you can actually build roadmaps that make sense and are helpful when building great products. In case you think you don't know Mobimeo, you might be wrong. Mobimeo is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG that aims to make mobility services attractive to millions of users (check out the BVG app, and you'll get a feeling of what they do).

She is currently leading a team of product people to make the TUI app experience enjoyable and useful for customers across 11 European countries.
