Testimonials - ESE Kongress
"ESE Kongress is one of my personal highlights every year. It is perfectly organized, offers an interesting conference agenda and promotes exchange and discussion."
Jan Altenberg, Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL)
"ESE Kongress is the perfect place for those who want to keep up with technology, share their experience and get insight into areas beyond their own scope. The bandwidth of presentations and a perfectly organized event leave nothing to be desired. As a tool manufacturer, we go there to follow the latest trends in the embedded sector, learn from the daily experience in development and, last but not least, share our own experience."
Dr. Martin Becker, Application Engineer V&V, The MathWorks GmbH
"ESE Kongress offers a comprehensive, unique mix and exchange of application oriented technical topics related to innovative developments for embedded systems as well as new management approaches. This is the reason why I have participated since the launch of ESE and I always schedule the first week in December for this event."
Prof. Dr. Gert Bikker, Vice President Research, Development and Technology Transfer, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences
"For many years, ESE Kongress has been an important platform for the ever-growing embedded software engineering community. The event covers exciting topics from the industry and research; it covers both highly technical aspects and ‘softer’ topics related to software development. That’s why ESE is a fixed date in my calendar every year. For itemis, it is particularly interesting to see how model-based development methods are becoming increasingly established year after year. We are happy to support this through technical presentations that provide practical information on technologies and tools such as Eclipse, Xtext, Franca, code generation, or mbeddr."
Dr. Klaus Birken, Team Leader itemis Stuttgart, IT Consultant
"I have attended ESE Kongress both as a speaker and as an exhibitor. In a presentation, I can introduce cross-cutting concepts and approaches in embedded software development and bring them to the table. At the exhibition, the focus then shifts to the specific challenges, questions, and experiences from real-world development projects. This establishes a particularly valuable connection between theory and practice as well as between processes and technology. This interplay makes ESE Kongress an excellent platform for professional exchange."
Stephan Drozniak, invenio Healthcare Solutions
"Over the years, ESE in Sindelfingen has become the most significant congress for the embedded software industry. I always save the first week in December for this event."
Raphael Dunker, Division Manager software Development, SEW-EURODRIVE
"ESE Kongress never fails to remind me how valuable in-person conferences are. In addition to the insightful presentations and workshops, I especially appreciate what happens beyond them: striking up conversations with other participants over coffee, and sharing experiences. The evening events are moreover a wonderful opportunity to have a good time together in a relaxed atmosphere over a cold drink and to strengthen your connections. It’s always a great pleasure for me to be there."
Jürgen Fitschen, Head of Research, Development & Innovation, SSV Software Systems
