✍️ EVENT DESCRIPTION

We will have three talks that cover a wide range of roles inside the tech industry:

Wave goodbye to clicks. Say Hi to the feedback loop: Develop your prototypes with confidence! by Shyamala Umamaheswaran
Prototyping done right: We will explore the development process by embracing proper setup techniques for a simple Go backend application with DynamoDB as database, deployed in AWS AppRunner with proper CI/CD.

A Dialogue with Developers by Zahra Beigi
Throughout fruitful years of working experience as a designer, I have been learning how to work more productively and smoothly with developers during the design process and while a concept is shaping. In my talk, I would like to share some of those experiences and hints in order to empower developers and enrich the collaboration between designers and developers.

Why it is important to embrace outstanding female leadership instead of competing with the men by Iris Seute
Using Storytelling, Iris will help us to understand the archaic female and male principles. How do those relate to leadership principle? And how can outstanding female leadership look like? How can women find their own way, instead of competing with the men.
