The first edition of the PUXcon conference brought current trends in AI, technology, design, and business, which took place on May 14 in Brno. The event was exclusively open to PUXdesign clients, providing them with an overview of the latest developments in the digital world while allowing them to share their experiences with other participants. The conference attracted several dozen interested attendees for its inaugural event. The program included three blocks of lectures, as well as BBQ and networking on the rooftop with a view of Brno.

PUXcon Conference was created in response to the long-term interest of clients in industry trends. “Companies repeatedly called for consulting. Beyond our regular advisory services, we decided to prepare a full-day event where we would summarize the most significant news in e-commerce, AI, technology, and design all in one place,” says Jiří Picka, Account Manager at PUXdesign, on behalf of the organizers.

In addition to practical advice and tips, the conference also provided a space for networking. “At PUX, we build on good relationships with our clients. The event was a great opportunity to meet outside of projects. At the same time, it created a space where our clients could connect with each other. They had the chance to share experiences or even build new collaborations,” adds Jiří.

7 top speakers and presentations

In selecting speakers, we at PUX looked for topics that would engage a wide range of clients. The resulting program consisted of seven top presentations, followed by live discussions with experts.

The morning session was opened by Jan Řezáč (CEO, House of Řezáč) with a presentation focused on the impact of AI on e-commerce. Following him, Petr Kameník (COO, PUXdesign – representing Adam Albrecht, CTO of TASY) presented a case study that summarized the key steps for successful company expansion into the German market.

In the afternoon, David Erbmann (CTO, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe) outlined the evolution of enterprise architecture in the age of AI and cloud. After him, Petr Kameník returned to the stage, this time discussing how to implement AI tools in a company to ensure their use is effective and beneficial.

“It often happens that we arrive at a company where they would like to start using AI – so please enable it for us. However, when we ask what specific business problem they want to solve with its help, they have no idea at all. In my lecture, I tried to show that for AI to truly benefit a company, it is necessary to think about its implementation in terms of the process, where it will help exactly and how much it will bring. This is what we focus on at PUXdesign. We guide clients through a large number of AI components and offer those that will help them best in their situation.”

The last block of lectures featured speakers from PUX. Michal Kužela (Tech Lead) presented the possibilities of utilizing CMS Orchard Core. Following that, Jiří Gédoš (UX designer) demonstrated to the attendees how to prepare an effective project brief that will guide the team to results. Finally, Kryštof Klaban reminded everyone of the principles of website accessibility that ensure they are user-friendly for every visitor.

BBQ and networking

The all-day program concluded with a BBQ and networking on the roof of the PUX offices in the center of Brno. “In the morning, we started in the basement of the building, only to ascend six floors in the evening to the terrace with a fantastic view. I see this as a metaphor – through collaboration, we lead our clients upward and help their businesses grow,” says Jiří Picka.

The highlight of the BBQ on the roof was the serving staff. For one evening, members of the PUX management transformed into waiters. Conference participants were able to enjoy a burger prepared by the company's COO – Petr Kameník. There was also a wine tasting from the family winery Toporcer (in which our developer Vojta is involved).

The next edition is planned

“The first edition of the conference met our expectations. PUXcon brought a number of tips, mutual sharing, and inspiration. We will continue organizing the event and already have several ideas for the program of the next edition. We will also collect suggestions directly from our clients,” adds Jiří Picka.
