Join us for a week of exciting talks, workshops and meetings for the No-Code enthusiasts.
Spend a week in the lively city of Cologne with fellow no-coders. A great opportunity to make connections and be part of the movement.
Every night at 6pm, you will have a chance to attend an event with 3 talks of carefully selected speakers. Get inspired, learn and ask questions everyday.
The No-Code Week is also about having fun and meeting in more casual settings. We will guide you through Cologne's exciting bars and coffee shops.
We have set up a space for all the participants of the No-Code Week who will be working remotely. And also some workshops and activities.
For the second day, we will focus, on one of the main aspect of No-Code : building apps and applications. We'll dive into the best tools for that and share inspiring success stories.
If you want to join the other attendees and work at the same time, enjoy a coffee break or share knowledge our coworking is available.
by Freewalk Cologne
First, you’ll explore the Eigelstein area, its gangster stories and why the habits of former guest-workers shaped a whole district that truly represents Cologne’s open-mindedness. A walk by the narrowest house in town leads you to a church with a golden chamber, where you’ll learn more about the martyr Ursula, the basilica minor and what virgins and bones have to do with our coat of arms. You’ll reach the Cologne Cathedral, avoiding the tourist trails, listening to wonderful stories about the third highest cathedral in the world and understand why it is more than a landmark to Cologne people. Discover ancient roman ruins and our connections to American presidents before we tell you a love story without a happy ending in front of the statue of Cavalry General Jan von Werth. Somewhat hidden in the old town, “Tünnes und Schäl” will teach you about the two hearts beating in the chest of every Cologne resident. Finally, at the Willi Ostermann Fountain, you’ll get to know facts about Cologne’s famous Carnival that will surely make you smile. It might also happen that you end up at the riverside together with your guide, your new-found friends from the tour and a cold Kölsch (our local beer).
by Richard Ahrend, Maker Expert @Tally
Together we will build your own business card importer. Take a photo, analyze the content and save the contact in your CRM. In our example, we will use Tally to handle the input and images. OpenAI will analyze the image of the business card and return relevant information to ultimately store the information in Notion. Finally, we will use Make to automate the whole process. The first version will be done for a specific event, whereas the final version will be dynamic for you to use on different occasions handling everything in one Tally form.
To achieve this, we will cover the following topics per tool:
- Make: basic scenario building
- OpenAI: basic prompting, AI vision, function calling
- Tally: basic form building, hidden fields, conditional logic & integrations

In this workshop, we'll cover the key steps entrepreneurs or developers should take before they start building their next app using a real world example + a live build of that example on Bubble
This will be an interactive session where we'll spend the first ~45 minute collaborating on a real business idea, and then spend the last ~45 minutes building that idea on Bubble. Users can choose to build side by side if they would like, but at a minimum should come prepared with a product idea, and to actively brainstorm / take notes / participate to get the most out of the session

You'll see real-life examples of how Make can simplify data manipulation, create PDFs, and integrate seamlessly with external tools.
by Manon Mercier, Product Builder
No-code is no longer made to build single-use products. I think the "quick and dirty" mode is over, especially when we talk about ops. No-code is really becoming professionalized.But how to face these challenges when you are a no-code maker, most of the time freelance, and that you have to manage projects alone from A to Z? My answer is : Product Management methods (and common sense).It’s never just about process automation, we are building a digital product as such. It is necessary to identify pain points, highlight problems we are trying to solve, prioritize client requests, engage end-users in the project process, and measure our product impact. It’s not about creating digital solutions. It's about creating impactful products that matters, that solve real problems. And which only have meaning if they are used.

Design are an important part of every no-code project. Whether it's UX best practices or Design thinking for ideation, it's often overlooked by no-coders while it can make a big difference. Even UI tips and tricks can help a lot when building.
