Estelle Roux-Stevens CEO & Co-Founder at Mentorjam BV	Why traditional mentoring programs fail to bridge the diversity gap? During my session, I will be looking at traditional mentoring programs and how in most cases they are designed to fail before even launched. Often providing a mentoring program is part of a tick box exercise or a nice to have within a company or community. Perhaps even a bit of an "everyone is doing it, so should we" approach. Instead of considering the purpose and objectives of offering a mentoring program. We will look at a few ways you can offer a truly inclusive mentoring program to your community or employees.

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.

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.

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
