Thriving or surviving the AI era? A designer’s take on the hype and reality of AI in product design

AI is everywhere in tech conversations, but what does it actually mean for designers today?

In this exclusive breakfast session, join two of Zalando’s Product Designers as they share their real-world experiences and insights from the frontlines of working with AI. They’ll challenge common claims, share where AI has helped – or fallen flat – in their own work, and invite you to reflect on your own encounters.

Come and join us for a complimentary breakfast at the Zalando Helsinki Tech Hub and let’s cut through the hype to get to the reality of AI in product design.

Good to know

This is a breakfast event, so there will be food available in addition to interesting talks. Please register so that we can reserve breakfast and the necessary number of places. And if you can’t make it, remember to cancel your place in time (preferably at least two or three days in advance) so that your place can be given to someone on the waiting list.

Feel free to welcome!

 


 

With free events, we answer your questions and wishes. If you find that you can’t make it to an event, it’s important to cancel your own registration asap. Doing so will help prevent: being placed on the blacklist, food waste, incurring extra costs, and allows someone else to fill your spot at the event. This way, we can continue hosting events in the future.

If you want to ask your questions to the speaker in advance, you can email them to info@mimmitkoodaa.fi with the subject ”Mimmit koodaa event”. The facilitators will take the questions into account when preparing.

You can also submit requests for new content or ask questions by email to info@mimmitkoodaa.fi.
