​​Who owns the process?

​There's an argument that doesn't fit into a conference talk: product designers and design engineers both think they should own what actually ships.

​Neither side has won.

​So we're walking off the conference floor for a quick lunch to settle it. Or not settle it but at least argue about it with a slice in hand.

​​The deal:

• ​13:30, five-minute walk down Gerichtstraße to Martha-Ndumbe-Platz (the square with the big round bench under the trees)

• ​Pizza and drinks are on us. Grab some swag on your way out.

• ​No talks, no slides, no demo, no agenda. If anyone starts presenting, we'll leave with you.

• ​Eat, disagree and walk back in time for the afternoon track.

​​Come if you're:

• ​Design engineer who feels like a rounding error at most design conferences.

• ​Product designer tired of throwing specs over the wall.

• ​Anyone whose "just build it in code" conversation has ended badly.

​Bring whoever you're sitting next to. You don't need to know us.

​Location

​Martha-Ndumbe-Platz

​Nettelbeckplatz, 13347 Berlin, Germany

​

​Room for ~30. RSVP so we order enough pizza.

​It's Berlin in September, so if it rains we'll move somewhere with a roof and post it here on the morning.

Hosted by SG and the ModeInspect team.

​We build a design tool that runs inside your product's code, which is why we have unreasonably strong opinions on this.

​We're buying lunch, not pitching.
