Lunch Sessions

Attendees looking at the stream at Freiburg 2018.

Interested in getting even more out of your Smashing experience? Our amazing friends from Storyblok, Speedcurve and Supernova are hosting a session to let you know more about what they do! All sessions are free, come with lunch and we only have 40 spots available.

At lunchtime, just follow one of the volunteers in the red shirts. Grab some lunch, settle in, and listen to what they have to say! All sessions take about an hour, so after the session you will still have time to relax and mingle.

Meet our Lunch Sessions:

“Our Design System is Fine” is one of those often-heard phrases. But is it really? During the day 1 lunch session, our friends from Supernova.io would love to go through your Design Systems Challenges.

Make sure to leave them on the board next to their booth, so the team can present & discuss them at the session! Your input will help shape the session and ensure it addresses your most pressing issues. Come prepared to chat about your pain points, ask questions, learn a lot, and network with other design enthusiasts.

Jan Toman is the Director of Design at Supernova.io, a tool for documenting, managing, and automating design systems. He has a diverse background in digital, starting as an engineer and then moving into product management before finally settling in design and design systems.
