Recap & Closing of the 9th Ada Lovelace Festival
Mystery Tables
Our Mystery Tables are spread across several locations in Berlin where participants will have the opportunity to interact with other participants, speakers and partners at dinner events. The “Mystery” in Mystery Tables is that you don’t know beforehand who will join you at your table.
ALF Party
The ALF Party is the perfect end to an inspiring festival day. All participants, speakers and partners are invited to come together to relax and unwind.
The second day of the Ada Lovelace Festival invites the community to co-create and collaborate in a unique, ‘unconference’ format. Embracing the principles of community contribution and hands-on exploration, attendees will work together to shape the program, drive discussions, and foster meaningful connections. With a focus on the people and ideas behind technology, the Ada Lovelace Festival offers a platform for the ada community to come together, share their perspectives, and build the future of technology in a collaborative and inclusive environment. Stay tuned for more infos.
