About Digitale Leute Summit

The Digitale Leute Summit is an annual conference held in Cologne for people who build digital software products, positioned at the intersection of product management, engineering and UX/Design. The programme combines talks, interviews and panels with masterclasses and hands-on workshops..

UX and design form a distinct strand of the agenda, with sessions on UX writing, product design, design leadership and, more recently, the application of generative AI within design and product teams.

The event is organised by DL Education GmbH, the team behind the Digitale Leute editorial platform, and takes place primarily at the Palladium venue in the Schanzenviertel district.
