A day full of Magento topics
Before the Christmas spirit(s) take over, talks and conversations about any Magento and ecommerce related topics are on the agenda.
When daylight fades, it’s time to get into a festive mood.
Enjoy an evening at the Christmas market
Amongst all Christmas markets in Europe, the Aachen Christmas market was voted #4 in the most recent election. When the old city center is filled with the scent of roasted almonds and mulled wine, who could be able to resist?
After we have discovered the city’s most intriguing tales during a sightseeing tour, we spend the evening at the Christmas market with drinks and foods.
When the market closes, a warm location with cold drinks will be our shelter for the late evening hours.
Plenty of plans for the whole day
Enjoy a full day in Aachen with a mix of culture and Magento.
We will spoil you with…
- Some (non-technical) Magento talks
- Discussions about different Magento topics, following the successful DevExchange approach introduced at Magento Imagine, except that it will be suitable for non-technical people too
- Many breaks to allow for more discussions and share experiences
- A professionally led sightseeing tour of Aachen if you like
- A delightful evening at one of the most beautiful Christmas Markets in the world with a great atmosphere next to Aachen Cathedral and plenty of opportunities to enjoy local food and drinks
- A chance to sit together even after the Christmas Market is closed
