Conference Chairs & AdBoard

This is where the Developer Week Advisory Board introduces itself. The AdBoard is responsible for the program under the direction of the Conference Chairs. The members are renowned experts on this year’s topic tracks. After reviewing the submissions from the publicly advertised Call for Speakers and the presentation recommendations of the Advisory Board, the conference chairs combine all topics into a jointly developed program.

Having attended various (international) conferences over the years, the AdBoard also constantly passes on the experience and impressions it has gained in order to align DWX even more specifically with the current wishes and needs of software developers and IT decision-makers. In this way, they contribute significantly to the success and continuous further development of DWX.
