A Different Kind of Presentation Evening

As we discussed after our last event, this time we'll try out a different event structure: after the presentation(s) we'll have an open space session with our speakers.

We are going to start with Imre Samu's lightning talk (10 minutes) about Lean Startup and Theory of Constraints. Please mind that this particular talk will be presented in Hungarian.

Afterwards, Árpád Kocsis is going to talk about his work as an IT manager at a multinational company which produces cars. As an IT manager he has multiple teams at different locations, and using Agile, Lean or Kanban is not an option for him, although the software industry took the Lean and Kanban idea from the car manufacturing. The talk will cover why Lean or Kanban isn't an option for him and how he operates successfully without them on a daily basis. This talk will be presented in English.

Thanks to the open space style there won't be a strict agenda. we start at 19:00, Imre's and Árpád's presentations will take approximately 10+20 minutes, after them we have open space session(s) until 20:30. The open space will be in English as well.

If it is possible please come a bit earlier, because we have to register at the reception!
