Tech Talk | Skills That Matter in the Future of Tech with Afshan Martin

What skills will actually matter as the future of tech continues to evolve?

As the tech industry grows and changes, relying on technical skills alone is no longer enough. A combination of skills like networking, community building, and personal branding is becoming essential for long-term success.

In this live Tech Talk, you will hear from Afshan Martin, a Software Engineer, consultant, and entrepreneur with over 15 years of international experience across academia, startups, and enterprise environments. With a background spanning industries such as AgTech, FinTech, PropTech, and LegalTech, and as a builder of multiple ventures, she brings a well-rounded perspective on how professionals can adapt and grow in an evolving tech landscape.

In this session, Afshan will share her perspective on the future of work and the blend of skills needed to succeed. She will discuss how networking, community building, and personal branding complement technical abilities, and how to start applying these skills in a practical and intentional way.

You will walk away with a broader understanding of how to position yourself beyond your technical abilities, along with practical ways to build and apply skills like outreach, self-promotion, and community engagement. This will help you recognize the value of the skills you already have and how to use them to grow your career.
