While everyone talks about the importance of design in building amazing products, surprisingly, there is very little data to justify this claim. The why, when or even how to integrate design into organisations can be somewhat elusive. At GoEuro, we are working towards building a simple and innovative product that will revolutionize the travel industry, and as a result, we maintain a user-first approach and highly value the importance of design.

So, join us at our Berlin office for an evening of insightful presentations and panel discussions with some of the top names in design and a lot of networking, food and drinks thrown into the mix.

Agenda
6:30 - 7:00 pm Doors open
7.00 - 7:15 pm Introduction to GoEuro by Naren Shaam, CEO and Founder
7:15 - 7:40 pm Albert Lee on NEA’s Survey “Future of Design in Start-Ups: 2016 Results”
7:40 - 8:10 pm Panel discussion with Albert Lee, Shaun Modi and Dave Price
8:10 - 8:30 pm Q&A
