XConf Europe - Stuttgart

What is XConf?

XConf is created by technologists, for technologists, who care deeply about the craft of software and its ability to make the world a better place.

Now in its ninth year, Thoughtworks XConf will be hosted across Germany, UK and Spain, in-person to connect with the local tech community and catch up on new tech trends.

Join us as we welcome our different keynotes in each region to the stage;

Germany - Silvia Schreier, Head of Software Engineering at Breuninger

UK - Asim Hussain, Green Cloud Advocacy Lead at Microsoft and Chairperson at Green Software Foundation

Spain - Paulo Caroli, Principal Consultant Thoughtworks Spain and Best Seller Book Author

At XConf you will:

• Discover emerging technologies and practices, use cases, and real stories

• Learn how to implement new technologies where you work and have greater impact

• Hear from people who broke through seemingly insurmountable resistance to change

• Talk with other interesting and ambitious technologists

• Let go of previously-held assumptions and gain new perspectives

This one-day, two-track event gives you indirect access to a diverse range of Thoughtworks senior technologists working on our clients’ most complex challenges.

Seating is limited to 150 guests per location, so register today, and we hope to see you there!

How to keep p53 up and running at Breuninger?

Breuninger‘s online shop is growing rapidly. That means we need to evolve our systems and organization continuously. What did we learn from growing from 5 to 15 teams in the past 3 years? How do we ensure that the system is stable and resilient and each team can work as independently as possible? We are already planning our next evolution steps and will share how we approach these challenges and how the idea of p53 is helping us to keep our DNA safe.
