Overview Speakers Agenda Sponsors

App Growth Summit Berlin 2020, returned after a sold out event last year! Our third event in Berlin took place on 19 May 2020! However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we produced and aired this event live in the format of an online virtual summit!

Don’t wince, though! We still featured mostly European speakers and utilized our custom-built AGS Virtual Event Platform which mimics as close as possible (considering the situation) to all the connections, interactions, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing you’d expect from an App Growth Summit event!

25 Expert Speakers
14 Custom-Curated Sessions
Interactive Networking & Fun Gamifications

Keep 'Em Coming Back!
PART I: Retargeting

Retention took a back seat position to User Acquisition & Montization for far too many years. Retention was the quiet part of growth that hardly got noticed. Everyone could see explosive new user growth, and revenue escalation, but slowly increasing LTVs and Retention Rates weren't as sexy to bring into a board room or investor meeting. Now that the mobile app industry has matured, however, app businesses are recognising the understated, but very powerfel, affect Retention has on all phases of business and growth. Retention's side-kicks, Re-Engagement and Re-Targeting, are going along for the ride in this discussion designed to hear how our experts are building business growth for 2020 and beyond!

You Failed Again to Get Your Data?

We all are data driven, and data centric, but yet, again we fail to make a decision based on data. We once again needed to turn our Excel skills up to find our ROI. It's ok, we all do it, we all are in the same boat, but it can be better, we can use data and say WE ARE DATA CENTRIC we have achieved a zen master in data. In the session we will focus on common mistakes and how to solve them, or at least how to avoid them by Lior Barak the author of "Data is Like a Plate of Hummus," and the data zen master level 13.
