The Speaker & VIP Networking Dinner, where the devcom Indie Awards will also be presented, will take place in the Wolkenburg this year and not in the Flora as in previous years. As in previous years, there will also be the Run Club, a Sunset Mixer Party on Monday and the Developer Night & Courage Cologne on Tuesday. There will also be free water stations, a business and speakers' lounge and, for the first time, a Silence Room. The awareness teams on site are well established and will be available in this area and throughout the venue again, ensuring they are approachable and ready to assist.
