🗓 Agenda
18:30 — Doors open, Check-in & Networking
18:50 — Event opening & organizers presentations
19:00 — Talk 1: You Had Me at "Hello": How Social Engineers Win Teresa Pereira — Cyber Threat Hunter @ Siemens EnergyApplication security extends beyond software — it now encompasses the human factor. This talk dives into the crafty world of social engineering, where the human mind is the target, not the machine. From vishing to trust exploitation, Teresa will walk through real-world tactics attackers use and — most importantly — practical ways to recognize and defend against them. Because your people are your perimeter.
19:30 — Talk 2: Empowering Innovation through Mentoring Nuno Reis — OutSystems MVP | Architect & Tech Lead
The world's most sought-after OutSystems mentor shares his incredible journey to the top. Discover the strategies and mindset needed to excel, the real impact of guidance on professional growth, and the true advantages — and potential pitfalls — of mentorship. Success stories included. Cautionary tales too.
20:00 — ☕ Break 5 min — grab a drink, stretch, connect
20:05 — Talk 3: Can an LLM Render Your Entire UI? (Yes, If You're Clever) Jan Schulte — Founder @ Betalyra
Vibe coding is cool, but why produce code at all? What if the LLM just generates HTML on the fly and responds to every user interaction — no React, no framework, no build step? Jan will show how generative UI actually works, walk through the optimisation strategies that make real-time generation feel instant, and explain how to stop users from prompt-injecting your UI into oblivion.
20:30 — Closing remarks, Pizzas & Networking 🍕🍻
