The big picture awaits you. It's going to be exciting. Because we have big plans: New products, software and services that will be more than just another milestone. Be there live. On site in Remscheid or via live broadcast on the Internet on June 15 and 16. The Volla Tablet will also be on show and experienced for the first time.
As in previous years, you can expect inspiring presentations, vivid demonstrations, practical tips for everyday life as well as exciting interviews and discussions. You will have the opportunity to hold our Volla products and accessories in your hands and buy them on the spot.
You can find more information about the Volla Tablet here.
Talk to a Volla expert
Get to know the people behind Volla and bring along your ideas and questions. Parallel to the event program, you can get personal advice. We will help you set up your Volla phone and use the unique Volla features such as the springboard, the security mode or the multi boot function. How about trying out a second operating system such as Ubuntu Touch or Droidian?
Opportunity for companies
Partners report on news and the latest developments of their products and solutions. Here you will find inspiration, be it for your own everyday life or for your company and business success. You will have the opportunity to find new business partners and develop ideas. We are happy to publicize your participation in advance and coordinate one-to-one meetings in separate meeting rooms.
Hackathon challenge
For developers, we prepare challenges for a hackathon where you can prove yourself and contribute your ideas. It starts right after the keynote. Bring your enthusiasm and your laptop and smartphone. We will prepare our co-working space for you. The best results will be selected by the community for an award ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
