Natali Tshuva Co-Founder & CEO at Sternum IoT	Outsmarting IoT Defense: The Hacker's Perspective Endless patching is a race that cannot be won.

This session will provide a unique view of that attacker's perspective, from former exploit/attack experts within the IDF Unit 8200. We will review the impossible task of identifying and mitigating all vulnerabilities - and will demonstrate the inadequacies of current IoT security practices focused on continuous… read more
Eleanor Manley Co-Founder & CEO at Metta Space	How sexual harassment is a silent killer for women's tech careers By the age of 35, 50% of women in tech will have left the field. Companies often talk about attracting female tech talent but retention seems to be an afterthought that most organisations aren't willing to dive into. Why? Because they would find that sexual harassment, workplace misconduct and toxic workplaces play a far larger role than most can imagine. Did you like this session? Share to vote.

Jennifer Bryan Managing Director of Leadership and Change at ABChange Consultancy	Are You Planning Change for the Past or the Future? Purpose: To put people into the heart of decision making for change The analogy that change is a story or a journey is well known. The big question is though, what story do people want to share and how do they want to travel on the journey? The word “share” is deliberate as change, as we know it, is not a ‘one-man band’ activity – it takes a great number of different people to enact or embody a change. Now, leading change can be tricky and feel bewildering, particularly when faced with the degree of uncertainty that is indicative of our world. For example, technology… read more

Adi Mazor Kario CEO, Invincible Innovation at Invincible Innovation	10 Dirty Little Secrets of Successful Entrepreneurs Successful entrepreneurs, from Henry Ford to Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, share similar qualities with one another. There are a few key qualities that all (or almost all) successful entrepreneurs have in common. What does it mean to be a successful entrepreneur? Is it being a born go-getter? Is it having an extroverted personality? Is it being charismatic enough to persuade customers? Not everyone is born with a drive to change the world. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs today are people who you may have underestimated in high school or college. A living… read more

Anabela Cesário VP of Product Operations and Chief of Staff to the CPO at OutSystems	Doing Product Ops Right Everyone seems to be talking about Product Ops these days — for very good and very bad reasons. Like anything new, there is a lot still unwritten about this new function. It’s up to us, leaders, to build it responsibly. But, while we wait for the dust to settle, companies of all sizes are tailoring Product Ops to their reality, needs, and challenges, creating many definitions. That can be dangerous and has been stirring some discussion about what exactly is Product Ops, and how one can distinguish between the good and the bad. In this talk, I will share the good, the bad, and the ugly… read more

Marina Tognetti CEO at mYngle BV	Thriving on the edge: Entrepreneurship and Risk The odds are still not favourable for women aiming at leadership positions in the tech industry, especially for female tech entrepreneurs. Only ~5% of tech start-ups are owned by women. The question we are asking ourselves is Why? And what can we do about it? One of the keys here is risk. Research has shown that men and women can have different perceptions of risk, women more likely to avoid risks and prioritize safety and stability in their decision-making. Entrepreurship is neither easy nor risk free, and many tech start-ups fail within a few years. But while a degree of risk… read more
