- Speed and Performance

All entries will be judged through the lens of backend, core and frontend developers, graphic designers, project managers, communication experts and under security aspects.

These jurors bring a wealth of expertise in business, marketing, and technical fields, ensuring that their judgments are both informed and objective.
Beyond the technical aspects, the 'human factor'—the jury's professional insight and experience—also plays a crucial role, allowing for a nuanced judgment that ensures winners excel not only in technical quality but also in creativity and overall excellence.

Matt Beadle
Last year's host Matt Beadle, born and raised in southeast England, makes a return to Düsseldorf in 2024. Matt is more than just a presenter; he's your energetic guide through events, hybrids, award ceremonies, and films - always bringing a smile and a touch of British humor. If you're laughing, you're listening!
Specializing in sports and entertainment, Matt is equally adept at handling product launches and strategy workshops. He's a familiar face on German TV, known for live horse racing broadcasts and hosting Timbersports championships. Often compared to "Troy MacClure," he's also the go-to host for marketing campaigns and explainer videos for brands like BMW, STIHL, Weidmüller, and Greator. His versatility ensures an engaging experience for both live and hybrid events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions. In the last year alone, he has hosted events with audiences from 100, over 500, to one with 19,000. Though originally from the UK, Matt has made Germany his home since 2000, effortlessly switching between English and German (with a charming accent).
In addition to his presenting skills, Matt is a renowned speaker and a four-time author. He speaks on topics such as strengths-orientation, leadership, transformational communication, positive psychology, and intrinsic motivation.
