DesignWays, the largest conference of its kind in the CEE region, has undergone a significant transformation and evolved into WaysConf. Over the past few years, this event has grown from a local workshop for designers to a major conference that attracts over 1,500 attendees and 40 speakers. The main goal of WaysConf has always been to promote unique and empowering conversations on digital design.

At WaysConf, we believe that an excellent designer should consider different perspectives, including research, business users, developers, and stakeholders. This is why we've decided to rename DesignWays to WaysConf. We want to recognize that all of us, whether we fulfill the roles of researchers, designers, developers, or product owners, are working towards the same goal. However, the paths we choose to achieve it may differ.

This year, we will guide attendees through the four major paths taken by digital product creators. We believe that it's essential to understand different perspectives and approaches in the creative process. By doing so, we can foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and build better products that meet the needs of all stakeholders.

At WaysConf, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where attendees can connect, learn, and grow. We believe that by empowering conversations in the creative process, we can drive innovation and inspire the next generation of digital product creators.

So, why is this change so great? Here are just a few reasons:

1. Diverse lineup of speakers: Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from a wide range of speakers from different creative fields, who can share their experiences and insights on the creative process and its challenges.
2. WaysConf is all about networking and building relationships in the industry. That's why we've improved our afterparty to be exclusively for attendees, giving you even more opportunities to connect with your peers and industry leaders.
3. WaysAwards concept has also undergone a major revamp, and you won't want to miss the chance to see the best and brightest in the CEE region recognized for their work.
4. Inclusivity and diversity: WaysConf is committed to inclusivity and diversity and will consider factors such as accessibility, language, and cultural representation.
5. WaysConf is designed to benefit anyone involved in the digital product creation process, regardless of your title. Whether you're a researcher, designer, developer, or product owner, there will be something for you at this inclusive and innovative event.
