Valentina Thörner Head of Remote & Quality at Klaus	Acting fast and slow: How action cycles can save your relationship with the Product team Support people are often driven by urgency: when will this bug be fixed? When can we get the briefing for tomorrow's release? What can we promise to our customers today? Product teams, on the contrary, think in sprints and development cycles, often spanning months at a time. ASAP in support is 2 hours. ASAP in Product may well be 2 months. Understanding this difference can help you structure your relationship with the Product department so it works for both of you. Join me on a journey through frustration and misunderstandings, lightbulb moments and wedding dress… read more
Zarka Sultana Principal Consultant (Software Quality Engineer)	How Testing in Cloud Shifting improves the customer and employee experiences? Cloud Technology allows companies to offer better products and services to their customers and improve the working environment for their employees.

Elli Vlachou Senior Advisor - Subject matter expert in retail at pwc	Stores of the future in the digital space - trends, strategies and customer expectations Most retail brands - from grocery to luxury- have been talking about the 'store of the future' for the past few years. Their attention and effort is on physical retail and how to incorporate digital elements to offer an 'Omnichannel experience'. But how do we translate the Omnichannel experience into the digital space? What do new age stores in the Meta universe might look like? How do traditional expectations such as customer service and availability get translated and dealt with? and most importantly what is the starting point for established 'offline'… read more

Joanna Płaskonka Scrum Master and Professional Scrum Trainer	What to do when you encounter problems with your Scrum adoption Let me take you for an interesting ride - the ride on the highway of disappointments and misunderstandings related to Scrum. Think about what you've heard about Scrum and Agile so far. “Let's do it! The development of our products will be... faster, cheaper, funnier, <any other nice promise you might get> when we start working in Sprints”. And how did it go, did it work exactly this way for your organization? If your face or body language says “well, not really,” I'm not surprised. Based on my experience, the reality is not so easy.

Charlotte Degot Founder and Global Leader of CO2 AI by BCG at BCG - Boston Consulting Group	AI can revolutionize the response to climate change The climate challenge for next decade is immense. To meet Paris Agreement goals and avoid increasingly harmful effects on the climate, global carbon emissions must be reduced by 50% in the next decade. Corporations have a major role to play in meeting this challenge, but few have started to address the impact their emissions have on the climate. As the world has learned, it is exceedingly difficult to reduce carbon emissions—and particularly more so if companies have neither any idea how much carbon they actually emit nor any way to accurately measure emissions. The problem is that… read more

Courtney Burkhart VP Technology Services EMEA & Oceania at Wallenius Wilhelmsen	How can female leaders provide a supportive & encouraging environment for other women in a male dominated industry? Many women use survival techniques to cope and continue working in traditional male dominated industries. Some are fortunate enough to have resources such as mentorship and supportive personnel to help them navigate this challenging environment. I will speak about the tools I have used in my career and the steps that I am taking to ensure that future female leaders are able to work in a safe and supportive environment while still being true to themselves and being accepted simply as they are. No woman should need to ‘adapt’ simply to be accepted based on her capabilities. Did you… read more

Shefali Mishra post-graduate student of Master's in Education and Technology at University College London	Technology in Education: Playing a responsible role Technology plays a key role in defining how we socialize, work, travel and even learn.

In this session, we will reflect on the larger vision of why technology was initially introduced in education (such as MOOCs) to bridge the digital divide, increase access and quality and how can this be… read more
Jennifer Bryan Director of Change and Leadership at ABChange Consultancy	Building Resilience in a Changing Environment A McKinsey report states that in 1958, the lifespan of organizations on the S&P was 60 years, now it is 12; and in 2027, 75% of organizations listed on S&P will not exist. This clearly illustrates the imperative for organizations to change and adapt or die. The degree of complexity and uncertainty will continue to increase making leading change tricky and feel bewildering, particularly when faced with so many unknowns. The global pandemic has taught us the critical need to plan for change differently. Using a holistic leadership approach allows for the application of… read more
