DFV Symposium 2026

The glass jump day.

A complete jump day — played out live with the audience on their own phones. We play manifest, you are office, instructor, jumper, club board. By the end you'll have lived through a whole day with Icarus Manifest.

Date: 14 November 2026 Venue: Hotel Mercure Schweinfurt Congress Center Duration: ~ 6 hours
Session proposal in coordination with the DFV symposium programme
Concept

Three steps, one day.

No slide deck, no abstract talk. We simulate a jump day in real time — and everyone in the room joins in.

1

Install Skydash.

Before we start you install the Skydash app on your smartphone — in 30 seconds, no app store. Now you're part of the simulation.

2

Pick a role.

Everyone gets a role for the day: Manifest, Office, Tandem master, AFF student, Club board. Your role decides what you see on your phone and what you can do.

3

Live through a jump day.

We run through a whole day — from the first tandem call to the email to the tax advisor. You see what your colleagues see. You understand why a system is different from an Excel sheet.
