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!
