Paulina Sajna-Kosobucka Information Architect, Communication & Media PhD Student at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun	Future of Artificial Intelligence and Senses: Multisensory Messages in the Tech Industry Many tools are used to prepare digital storytelling. In the future of technology, programmers may be able to create more complex forms of digital messages, combining more senses, including touch, smell, and taste – even if now it seems to be improbable. Nowadays, we – the users – mostly can receive infographics by seeing them. Additionally, we are also able to listen to data. But what about other senses? There are some people in the world who can receive one stimulus by more than one sense and this form of neurodivergency is called synesthesia. There are many types of synesthesia but e.g.… read more

Josefine Schaefer Developer Relations Engineer at Storyblok	Demystifying Web Accessibility Accessibility is a decisive tool to make the internet a more inclusive place, it is absolutely crucial and despite the popular belief that only a small user group is affected, it benefits every single one of us. The reality doesn’t yet reflect that, though - accessibility often just seems like an afterthought. I will show the benefits of implementing accessibility and eliminate some of the prejudices. I want the audience to take away the fact that it's rather easy to get started, that a little bit is better than nothing and give them helpful tools to put their motivation into… read more
Olga Geidane Keynote speaker and Mindset coach, Regional President of Professional Speaking Association	Turning your mother’s guilt into your inner power! Being a mother is a full time job. We all know it. When you are a working mother - it means you have two jobs. Leading an organisation and your team AND raising a child often feels like emotional suicide!

This workshop will help you to overcome the guilt, shame and self-blame related to this part of your journey and will empower you with tools that will give you more peace and sanity.

Kiruthika Ganesan Head of Quality Assurance at Deko	Navigating through your career breaks Career breaks are becoming more common now-a-days whether it is a paid one or an unpaid one. This talk is about my experiences and how I have navigated both planned and unplanned breaks in my career. Sometimes an unplanned break or a layoff can be quite traumatic and hard to digest. During these times how can we stay objective, take stock and proceed further? Post pandemic mental health has taken a centre stage. More companies and individuals are focussing on work life balance, sabbatical, flexible working, reduced hours, remote working, better benefits and much more. A break… read more
Dr Karen Wilson Managing Partner at KZW & Associates	Stop Playing The Game. Start Writing The Rules. The data is in (and has been for ~150 years). The 'playing field' is uneven and we, as women continue to try to play on it. What if - instead of playing a game we didn't invent - with rules we didn't write and goalposts that keep moving, we stopped playing? What if we reinvented the workplace so it worked for EVERYONE? What does that take? Each of us taking charge individually and THEN working together. We can create a ripple effect that becomes a tsunami. W ant some insights on where to begin? This talk is… read more

Rux Dariescu Sustainable Business Performance Coach at Rux Dariescu Coaching	If the answer is <Increasing Productivity>, what is the question? Do leaders ask the right questions about productivity in the Information or Knowledge Industry?

Recent business news headlines have been dominated by reports of declining productivity, often resulting in drastic measures such as layoffs or financial warnings.

Anna Brailsford CEO at Code First Girls	How to Hire, Retain and Progress the Next Generation of Diverse Tech Talent By 2025, there will be 1 qualified woman for every 128 tech jobs in software, data and cybersecurity. Globally, we are beyond the crisis point for hiring women into tech roles. However, it is key to consider that retaining female talent within organisations is of equal importance if we are to close the tech gender gap. We asked our community of over 120,000 woman coders why they had left jobs in the past. 53% said "no clear career pathway or progression", 49% said "unfair pay" and 32% said "toxic company culture". Women are still being treated… read more
