## Description

Join us to kick off the WeAreDevelopers World Congress with an afternoon and evening full of real tech insight and relaxed networking. Look forward to hands-on impulse talks offering a glimpse into the technology behind tomorrow’s cars – from the compute power behind advanced driver assistance systems to new approaches in embedded software development and the complexity of EV routing.

Meet developers and industry experts, pick up your conference badge, and wind down the evening with drinks and the electrifying beats of DJ Harry Nipples.
