Summary

  • The most frequent questions:
    • What is Zalando?
    • What are you doing here at Web Summit?
    • Pointing to Club Mate: "Is this a beer?"

  • My most wierd experiences:
    • One lady: "Zalando! Can I pick up the box and start screaming?!"
    • A lady from a startup: "Can I speak to the head of e-commerce?"
    • A guy from a startup: "We have a button. Would you mind integrating it in to your web page?"

  • The Best:
    • Met a lot of cool people/engineers
    • Zalando team to rule them all!
