Speakers

The people behind the systems you use.

Eight practitioners who run tokens, motion, and accessibility at real scale — no vendor keynotes, no slideware filler.

Mara Lindqvist

@maralq

The interface is the brand — opening keynote on why UI is the loudest thing you ship.

Jonas Beck

@jonasbeck

Design tokens at 40 brands — what survives when one system serves everyone.

Priya Ramanathan

@priya_r

The death and rebirth of the style guide — living documentation that stays alive.

Elif Kaya

@elifk

Motion as a token — easing, duration, and choreography as first-class design decisions.

Amara Diallo

@amarad

Accessible by construction — systems where the accessible path is the easy path.

Felix Braun

@fbraun

One codebase, four platforms — shipping web, iOS, Android, and desktop from one www/.

Ingrid Sørensen

@ingrids

Undesigning the dashboard — what analytics UI looks like when you delete the noise.

Tomás Ferreira

@tomasf

Theming a real product live — a workshop where one token file reskins a shipping app.

Schedule

Two days, one track, zero FOMO.

Single track by design — everyone sees everything, and the hallway conversations stay shared.

Five Regular tickets, one invoice, seats together if you want them.

Workshop add-on €199

One half-day workshop seat, laptop required. Add it to any ticket.

Venue

Funkhaus, on the Spree.

A large stage lit in blue light in front of a full audience
The main hall — a 1950s broadcast studio with absurdly good acoustics.

East Berlin's old radio complex: timber halls, river terrace, and enough studios to run workshops without shouting over each other.

  • Nalepastraße 18, 12459 Berlin. Tram 21 or M17 to Köpenicker Chaussee, then a five-minute river walk.
  • Doors 08:30 both days. Talks start 09:30 sharp — Berlin traffic is real, plan for it.
  • Hotels: stay around Ostkreuz or Friedrichshain — 15 minutes door to door, and better food.

14–15 May 2027

900 seats. One track. See you on the Spree.

Tickets are transferable until 1 May, refundable until 1 April. If your budget approval is slow, we'll hold a seat — just write.
