Structural Engineer, Ing. at In Touch Female Leadership & Career Academy	The Unwritten Rules of ‘Making the Career’ Game Scientific research has shown that ambitious women, even if they are young, and without children, get stuck in their career.

Avanti Sharma Pre teen Technology Specialist, Workshop4Me a.s.b.l at Workshop4Me a.s.bl.	How a virus is changing our perception of technology Digital Technology has been here for the last decade. But we kept it on the fringe, as an unwanted outsider not to be allowed to come and take us over under its grip before enslaving and destroying humans to finally create an empire of robots. However, the reality turned out to be far from it. The change of script was controlled by a tiny 400 microns with no processing power at all, rather than robots. The virus needed no intelligence to come along and destroy the empire of humans like a castle of cards making them run and seek refuge wherever they could. If this period were to be examined in… read more

As a team lead, facing both with the code and management tasks, the speaker found, how many failures can make developers, not ready and not properly prepared for justification their ideas in front of different level management. The topic, I want to present, is covered with the next parts: … read more
Micaela Romanini Business Development, Diversity, Event Director at VIGAMUS Foundation, Women in Games Italia, VLG Publishing,	Diversity and gender inclusion in the Games Industry. This is not a game! Diversity is a not only a ethical issue, but also an economic one. Over 10 years ago, according to the International Game Developers Association, only 11.5% of game developers identified as female. The number of women involved in all areas of the games industry has been creeping upwards, but, despite these encouraging statistics, women and people of color are particularly underrepresented in senior roles. But diversity in gaming isn’t about ‘political correctness’ or ‘pushing the gay agenda’, but more about people wanting to see themselves in video games. Games can help us approach… read more
