For the last ten years, Web Summit has grown to become one of the best technology conferences on the planet, according to Forbes. As hy, we were there with the other 70,000 attendees to join Web Summit 2019 in Lisbon this year (November 4th to 7th). 

The Web Summit is the conference where the CEOs and founders of the world’s biggest companies, the most promising new startups, influential investors, and leading journalists meet. Our highlights include an opening session with Edward Snowden and the presence of the Rotating Chairman of Huawei Guo Ping, CTO of Amazon Werner Vogels, President of Microsoft Brad Smith. These are just skimming the surface, there were +1,200 speakers over four days, with topics like data protection, sustainability, and whistleblowing emerging as the trends of the conference. 

As hy, Web Summit was an excellent opportunity to get together with the developer community in the global set up. Developers have always been central to the event, where they made up 12% of all attendees. +8,500 developers were a broad group with 178 languages represented, the most popular being JavaScript, Java, Python, C, C++, C# and Ruby. The good news is that most of the talks are available on the Youtube channel of Web Summit. Have a look at it if you are curious to get a glimpse of the event. 

It was inspiring to be together with the people and companies that redefine the global tech industry. Thanks Web Summit for the unforgettable experience! We brought back new knowledge and ideas home and we’ll make sure to transform our takeaways into real life.

More than 1,500 developers gathered in Hamburg on the 24th and 25th of October 2019 to get a broader insight into what’s up in the tech scene and to discover new trends and themes. Even hy couldn’t say no to the combination of popcorn, code and exciting talks. 

The code.talks conference is the largest developer conference in Germany and was held in Hamburg. And since hy’s birthplace is Hamburg, we always find this gathering as a unique opportunity to get together with the community from the region and cherish the connections. 

Two days were filled with talks from a variety of topics such as AI, Big Data, IoT, IT management and infrastructure, and Virtual-/ Augmented-Reality & Gaming. 130+ top national and international speakers gave a global insight into the trends of the scene. 

Work hard play harder mindset made it possible to focus on the fun too; retro games, testing the newest tech gadgets and escape games. It was the perfect setting for making new contacts and discussing topics of development.

It was a great experience and we will certainly not have been there for the last time. Thanks code.talks and see you again next year!

On the 6th and 7th of June 2019, more than 10,000 developers came together in the CityCube of Messe Berlin for the first WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Germany. The world congress moved from Vienna to Berlin in 2019 to offer the stage for tech leaders all over the world to discuss the latest and hottest IT topics under the title “People-Code-Future”.

As hy, we were also there to exchange ideas and get to know the latest trends in software development. The WeAreDevelopers conference also served as a networking opportunity to nourish the relationships with pioneer technology companies and the European developer community. 

Over 250 speakers who are industry leaders and tech pioneers dived into topics like DevOps, high-level languages, AI, IoT, blockchain and cloud matters. Additionally, participants had the possibility to choose over 80 workshops to enhance their skills. 

We loved the atmosphere and immensely enjoyed the conference on these two days. We are confident we’ll be back for the world congress 2020. Thanks WeAreDevelopers and see you again next year! 

At our hy events we invite developers to connect, eat good food and just have fun. True to the motto: devs who eat together stay together, right? 

At October 20th of last year we tried the Playstation VR. But to be honest, more than that we just talked. About projects, problems or phantasies of the programming world.

Sven wrote a pretty cool blogpost about the day.

More events with cool topics, innovate Program and of course good food will follow!

At November 25th 2015 the first event took place in hy’s four walls. And we wouldn’t be hy if that didn't happen with a big bang. 

Started off by the allianz work committee chairman Udo Bringe and cooked for by zwo live-cooking chefs.

Devs and skilled team leads took part. In addition the guys of Drive honoured us with there appearance. 

For those of you who don't know Drivo: It is an app that helps you become a clever driver. It analyses your style of driving and makes sure you are more secure and aware on the street.

The startup Jaano from hamburg was there too. Sadly they currently can’t get funded anymore but their idea really convinced us. For 19ct per minute you can rent a scooter and drive through the city. Jaano also isn't tied to a station which makes everything super easy. 
 

All in all it was a pretty successful evening that we wont forget for sure!
