Speakers include:
- Dustin Carr (Co-founder of DarkViolet.ai): Building AI Enhanced Experiences in Remix
Remix is a full stack TypeScript framework brought to us by the team that created React Router. It is lightweight, easy to grasp, and simple to deploy, while featuring everything expected from a modern framework, including automatic code splitting and server-side rendering (SSR). In this talk, Dustin will demonstrate the key features of Remix by building a simple AI chatbot. He will walk through how to integrate AI capabilities, providing attendees with practical insights into creating enhanced, interactive user experiences. - AD Slaton (Senior Director at Warner Bros Discovery): The Journey to Technology Leadership
AD Slaton will share key moments from their career that led to becoming a technology leader. Covering early influences, challenges, and breakthroughs, this talk will highlight the transition from technologist to leader, focusing on leadership skills, lessons from failure, and impactful projects. Attendees will gain an understanding of the traits and experiences that can help elevate their careers into leadership roles. A Q&A session will follow, giving participants the opportunity to ask specific questions and receive valuable advice on their own leadership journey. - Sumudu Siriwardana (Project Manager): Beyond Code - How Emotional Intelligence Elevates Performance
Technical skills open doors, but what helps you really stand out? It’s your soft skills, especially emotional intelligence (EI). In this talk, Sumudu will explore how EI can help you stay calm under pressure, work better with your team, deal with feedback, and communicate clearly. Sumudu will offer practical tips on how to develop your EI and share real-world examples that illustrate the importance of empathy and self-awareness in a tech environment. Learn how these skills can lead to improved collaboration, increased productivity, and a more fulfilling career. - Nerando Johnson (Software Developer at Nexcor Food Safety Technologies, Inc.): Topic TBD
Stay tuned for an engaging and insightful talk from Nerando Johnson, who will share his expertise and experiences in the tech industry. Details about his talk will be announced soon, but expect valuable insights that will inspire and inform.
