Product Night: Sustainable Discovery & Navigating Organizational Readiness đ
We all know that product work isnât just about developing features.
Itâs about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction.
Thatâs often where product work starts to slip: discovery isnât maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product.
Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts.
**Who is this for?**
* The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster.
* The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment.
* The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community.
**Limited spots available**.
**The Lineup:**
**Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)**
* Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't?
* The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations.
**John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)**
* Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable.
* The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence.
**The details:**
* đ
When: May 7, 2026
* â° Time: 18:30 CET
* đ Where: Westpark Zurich
Grab your seat and letâs level up your product game together!

Peter Kranz: Enter the Java Dungeon - Eine interaktive Reise durch Java 9-26
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder!
Diesmal haben wir Peter Kranz mit seinem interaktiven Talk zu den unterschiedlichen Java-Versionen zu Gast.
Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort).
* 18:00 Uhr: Einlass
* 18:30 Uhr: Talk
* ab 19:30: Ausklang des Abends
Dank an [adesso](https://www.adesso.de/de/unternehmen/standorte/nuernberg.jsp) fĂźr Location, Bier und Pizza!
\-\-\-
Java entwickelt sich seit Version 9 im Halbjahresrhythmus weiter â mit Records, Pattern Matching, Virtual Threads und vielen weiteren Features. Doch wer hat schon die Zeit, 17 Releases im Detail zu verfolgen? Die FĂźlle an Neuerungen ist enorm, und je nach Projekt und Interesse sind ganz unterschiedliche Features relevant. Ein klassischer Vortrag kann hier nur einen starren Pfad durch die Feature-Landschaft bieten.
Dieser Talk geht einen anderen Weg: als interaktiver Dungeon Crawler. Das Publikum entscheidet gemeinsam, welchen Themenkomplex es als Nächstes erkunden will â Moderne Sprach-Features, Concurrency, APIs, JVM-Tooling oder experimentelle Preview-Features. Jede Entscheidung fĂźhrt tiefer in den Dungeon und schaltet neue Level frei. So entsteht bei jedem Vortrag ein einzigartiger Pfad durch die Java-Versionen 9 bis 26.
Wie in einem echten Dungeon Crawler sammelt das Publikum dabei XP und wird am Ende einer Klasse zugeordnet â vom Warrior mit Fokus auf Performance bis zum Wizard der Sprach-Features. Ob Einsteiger:in oder erfahrene:r Entwickler:in: Jede Session liefert praxisnahe Einblicke in genau die Java-Features, die das Publikum am meisten interessieren. Kein Vortrag gleicht dem anderen â und der einzige Weg, alles zu sehen, ist wiederzukommen.
