DecompileD Conference

CODE & CONNECT

6 February 2025 | OSTRA-DOME, Dresden

Develop yourselves!

DecompileD is the conference by developers for developers. Whether mobile, cloud, big data, analytics, machine learning or artificial intelligence - where others try to swim on the surface, engineers and developers dive into the depths of new technologies, trends and best practices.

At OSTRA-DOME Dresden, representatives from start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, research institutes and global corporations will meet at eye level. Because at DecompileD, the focus is not on names, but only on current challenges, solutions and products in software development.

Become part of the DecompileD community. Use the network to your advantage. Spread knowledge, benefit from the know-how of others, find solutions and fresh ideas. Make DecompileD your playground.

Programme

Explaining the Unexplainable: Current State of XAI in GenAI

Christopher Danz, Machine Learning Engineer @ CBTW IT & Technology / Positive Thinking Company

Generative AI is transforming industries but often acts as a "black box." How can we trust and deploy such technology responsibly? This talk explores Explainable and Responsible AI (XAI/RAI), covering their importance, cutting-edge methods, and real-world adoption to ensure transparency and accountability.

Overcoming Agile Nightmares: From Anti-Patterns to Achievement

Nina Nitzsche, Agile Consultant @ codecentric

Discover common Agile anti-patterns like “Zombie Scrum” and “Dark Agile” that hinder effectiveness, cause burnout, and promote micromanagement. Learn to identify, understand, and address these pitfalls with real-world examples and strategies, fostering trust, purpose, and true customer value.

Scaling: from 0 to 20 million users

Josip Stuhli, CTO @ SofaScore

A journey through scaling infrastructure to support millions of users: from on-premise to cloud and back. Learn how a small team handled surges, scaled from one server to dozens, tackled failures, and navigated challenges in adapting infrastructure to meet massive demand.

Abstractions in your Frontend: Overcoming 'Don't Repeat Yourself'

Andreas Roth, CTO @ esveo
Explore how the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle can lead to rigid, complex code in frontend development. Learn to balance abstraction trade-offs and discover why composition often results in cleaner, more flexible solutions across frameworks.

After Work Party

The conference is followed by networking in a relaxed atmosphere: the DecompileD After Work Party offers the perfect opportunity to talk to speakers, developers, sponsors, partners and potential customers from 6 pm. Whether over a drink at the bar, to the beats of DJ Rick Menaira on the dance floor or a game of blackjack or darts in the gaming area - networking has never been so easy and entertaining. A hot tip, also for management, HR and sales. The After Work Party is included in every DecompileD ticket and can be booked separately for € 39.
