Talk #1: Creating Your Own Ethical Framework
Speaker: Hanna Landrus
Description: What does it mean to build ethical technology in a world that moves faster than regulation? After years of shipping AI features, I shifted gears to teach a college course on Ethics and AI. This talk shares lessons from that transition—along with a step-by-step process to help you define a personal ethical framework you can use to make better decisions at any stage of your tech career.

Lightning talk #1: Bits and Bytes (Beginner to All Level Coders)
Speaker: Luke Grant
Description: Discussing about the meaning of bits and bytes and why they are important for both the Informational Technology Industry and the world of users. This talk is meant to be easy to understand for all coders, including those who have never coded before or are experts in the field.

Lightning talk #2: TBD
Speaker: Bill Harding
Description: TBD
