=====================================

1. Title: KopiRun - from idea to app launch

Thinking of building your first mobile app? Well, now you can do it using the same language that powers the web!

Come along to this talk to find out about the creation of KopiRun, an app that helps you find people nearby who could help do coffee runs for you (think carpooling but for food/groceries). We'll be talking about important things to think about before you launch your app, the tech stack that went behind KopiRun, and some key decisions and takeaways out of our journey from the first line of code to putting the app on the app store.

2. Title: Why Identity Capital Matters

Identity capital is the collection of personal assets that we assemble over time. Some of these identity capital might go on your resume and others are more personal - such as how we speak, where we are from, how we solve problems, how we look. In today’s keynote, we will explore how to build your personal identity capital, pick up communication skills that are valuable in any organisation and perform even in the midst of a pandemic.
