Design Crew Talk: Panel discussion

Different approaches to product discovery

Ever wondered what separates successful products from duds? The answer lies in effective product discovery. And on Tuesday, March 19, we're lifting the curtain on this critical process with our panel of seasoned professionals.
Join us at the Applifting Meetup Space as Jan Černý, head of business & development at Applifting, Josef Slavíček, product designer at Cleevio, Radovan Škop, design team lead at Applifting, and David F., design tech lead at Applifting, share their battle-tested approaches.
Whether you're an entrepreneur or just someone curious about what it takes to bring a product to life, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

👉 Register here 👈 if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anička would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!

What’s on the menu?
To kick things off, Jan Černý will take the stage with a talk on leveraging Design Sprints to validate ideas before heavy investment. His practical tips from various case studies will cover remote facilitation, avoiding pitfalls, and selling the concept to stakeholders.
Josef Slavíček will present a case study dissecting the GT3 product, which empowers race car drivers to reach the winner's podium.

And the main course? A panel discussion allowing you to pick the brains of our experts on de-risking projects right from the kickoff phase.

There will be Q&As sprinkled throughout the event to quench your thirst for knowledge. You can also look forward to a themed quiz, where you can win cool Applifting prizes!

Just come and chat, get to know each other, and see how we think about things at Applifting.
