We are pleased to announce that the first event inaugurating our new series of business meetings will take place on January 22 this year!
We are launching a new format of meetings designed to exchange experiences between representatives of different industries.
We will constantly collaborate with Asseco Data Systems to organize the Product MeetUP meetings!
All cyclical events will focus on project management, the creation, development, and improvement of products and services, and are dedicated to individuals involved in these processes. They are targeted, among others, at people in positions such as Product Owner, Product Manager, and Project Manager, as well as anyone interested in this topic. In our discussions, we do not intend to limit ourselves to the IT industry but will also draw from the experiences of other sectors.

- Exchange experiences with representatives from various industries and gain new perspectives.
- Stay updated on the latest trends, tools, and technologies that support the development of products and services across different industries.
