14:00 – 14:05: Reception, A welcome note from Organiser

14:05 – 14:40: Speaker I: Rinku Sharma, Founder of techeroes gGmbH
Talk: Play the Story. Change the Game. How Serious Games and Storytelling Turn Learning into an Adventure
Abstract : Why do we remember some stories for years, while forgetting the contents of a presentation the very next day? And what happens when we don’t just listen to a story, but become part of it? In this talk, Rinku Sharma explores how serious games and storytelling can turn learning into an experience. Through engaging examples, he shows how people can step into different roles, make decisions and see the consequences of their actions. From children and teenagers to adults, discover how play can spark curiosity, bring complex topics to life and encourage people to think, create and take action.

14:40 – 15:15; Speaker II: Armend Avdijaj, Founder and CEO, GlassFlow
Talk: Build in Shifts: When to Run a Software Factory with Coding Agents (and When Not To)
Abstract: Every engineer has dreamed of agents that ship while they sleep. A software factory, where coding agents work through tasks in shifts instead of you steering each session, gets you closer. But it isn’t the right fit for every team or project. In this talk we compare running a software factory with managing coding sessions yourself, show when it pays off and when it doesn’t, and share which kinds of projects make a good place to start.

15:15 - 15:50; Speaker III: Mario Meir-Huber
Talk: Software Factories
Abstract: One of the most promising use cases for AI is to significantly speed up software engineering. Developers all over the world are using Claude Code and Codex to supercharge their software development. What was once considered "Vibe Coding" is now becoming a first-class citizen for software teams around the world. The next evolution is the software factory. In this talk, we explore what a software factory is capable of doing and how it can further boost the development lifecycle. The Session will be hands-on and we will see a real software factory in action.
