## ✨ Talks
Talk by Christina Samios: The Super-PM: Powering Up Your Career with AI and Human Magic
To be an amazing PM in 2026, you have to move beyond just managing tasks and start leading with vision. This session is about the elite toolkit for the modern builder: leveraging AI to handle the heavy lifting of execution while doubling down on the high-stakes human leadership that no machine can replicate. We’ll show you how to automate the mundane, build at warp speed, and reclaim the strategic "inner hero" that makes you indispensable to your team.
Talk by Dewald Els: Fonts: From Clay to Pixels
Let’s explore typography - From early writings carved into clay tablets to the pixels rendered on your screen. We'll look at how movable type and mechanical inventions transformed communication and print, then look into how fonts work in the digital world: bitmap grids, vector outlines, anti-aliasing, and modern formats like TrueType, OpenType, and WOFF2 - revealing how centuries of technical constraints still shape the text in our digital products.
Talk by Jonas Lillevold: Dark Patterns and The Pickpockets of the Internet
When the creators of digital solutions put the users' needs aside in order to maximize their own profit, it happens that the dirty tricks are used. In these waters you have to navigate with a steady hand to end up where you want, with what you want. As a designer, it is useful to know the principles behind dark patterns because it also contributes to an understanding of how safe waters should look like.
