12MIN.ME | DÜSSELDORF | IGNITE🔥21

In the organizer's words:

12MIN.ME | IGNITE - OUR CLASSIC
Our colorful standard with three talks on different topics! All topics are welcome at our monthly IGNITE talks. Here you get a colorful bag of talks, food for thought in a wide variety of directions and a round of guests that is at least as wild as it is cordial.

DON'T WASTE yOUR TIME!
Time is our most valuable asset - don't waste it! "Don't waste your time!" - is our motto and we live it. We bring education, innovation and inspiring topics into a relaxed after-work format where old and new economy meet.
The evening includes 3x
12 minutes lecture
12 minutes Q&A
12 minutes of networking

How do we keep our promise? Our events include three really informative, entertaining and honest talks. The clue - each speaker has exactly 12 minutes to tell his or her **story and to convey all the important content. Time is running out... Not a second longer! After that, it's your turn. Ask questions and delve deeper into the topic! And - how could it be any different? You also have 12 minutes in the Q&A session. This is followed by 12 minutes of networking so that you can catch up personally or simply refresh yourselves and be ready for the next presentation.

It's not just our job to provide you with fun, inspiration and knowledge in a unique networking environment. We love to bring people from different backgrounds together. We also provide a stage for influential non-profit ideas and sustainable projects.
As a networking platform, we support the exchange of ideas and the opportunity to expand your contacts and - most importantly - share the love.

Speaker No. 1: Marina Lang, Center Human
Lecture: Digital Balance: How technology enriches our lives - and when we can switch off

In times of constant technological accessibility, a balance between online and offline time is crucial to maintain mental health while increasing productivity. Technology is a valuable tool, but only if we know ourselves well and consciously take breaks to consider our own needs. This balance allows us to use technology as a support without being overwhelmed by it.

About the speaker:
Marina Lang is a biochemist, holistic health consultant, nutritionist and resilience coach. As an entrepreneur, mother, wife and daughter, she knows the challenges of combining professional and personal success with inner balance. She supports future managers in strengthening their mental health preventively and mastering stressful phases at work - in an individual and natural way.

Speaker no. 2: Björn Wendland
Lecture: I don't want to do architecture that's dry and dull.

In this talk, Björn will deal with the topic of software architecture. However, not with the technical aspect, but with the people, the role of the architect and their tasks.
What is the role of the software architect?
And: Why are architects indispensable for the success of large software projects?

Speaker no. 3: Vanessa Schulz
Lecture: The fuck-it button: Courage at the push of a button.
At first rather driven and in search of something, and then more and more as a skill that I can activate - whereby the actual skill is probably that of being satisfied with not doing something and being able to choose. I will lead an exercise for this by working on targeted regulation of the nervous system so that you learn through experience and can practise the new state in a very practical way.

About the speaker:
Vanessa Schulz, a real Düsseldorf girl, has found her calling as an embodiment coach. After years of traveling and intensive study, she has been passionately dedicated to self-awareness and experience-based learning since 2021. Her focus is on sustainable self-leadership.
