Like taking a trip, a career isn’t likely going to be a linear path from point A to point B. Regardless of what point we are all at, we're bound to face turns, hills, dips, pivots, fork in the roads, and numerous other elements in between. So how do we stay resilient, how can we be empowered to thrive and continue to progress?
Within this fireside chat you will hear from two women from Booking.com, Adrienne Enggist, Senior Director of Product, and Ashley Bellview, Senior Director, Global Communications. Adrienne will tell you all about her unique career journey in tech, the challenges and successes she has faced, as well as provide personal reflections on what it means to discover oneself in a world of tech

There are many organizations out there that are not empowering their product teams to maximize the impact they can make. Every one of us can play a role in elevating the product industry to the next level.
In the current fast evolving product and tech ecosystem, it’s important to differentiate and emphasize what makes a strong product manager, as well as how to train and practice those skills if not given. I will also focus on explaining the difference between the product and a feature team and do a fun exercise to determine whether you are currently working in a product team or in a feature team. Join me if you want to find that out :) If you are currently working in a feature team, I will share some tips/learnings on how you can start the transformation into becoming a product team.

Women who choose to or have to migrate bring a vast pool of experiences with them. Experiences with resilience, tolerance discrimination, oppression, resistance, networking, problem-solving etc. Being a professional they have proven that they have high adaption and progress capabilities. They have a growth mind set, can tackle obstacles and survive setbacks. That’s why it’s crucial to spot them, empower them and leverage the high potential in them in the professional sense.
Diversity, inclusion and social responsibility have somehow turned into buzzwords in the professional and labour market context. The main way of implementing them in work places is to track down the multidimensional diversity categories at workplaces and to address them. One of those multidimensional categories is “female immigrant professional”. These professionals bring with them unprecedented chances for the labour and entrepreneurship market. Their potentials and needs are to be understood by the employers and investors. These women are the mothers and sisters to the coming divers generations and bring with them a high potential of impacting workplaces in a positive way.

As we accelerate through the Digital Age, and we see this drive further acceleration and proliferation of novel technologies, it becomes harder to make good decisions. If we are to be successful we need to think differently about Technology, and our relationship to that technology. In this session we will explore that new way of thinking.
Digital transformation is up there on the 'post-pandemic' poster phrases along with 'new normal', 'different normal', 'digitization' and 'data defined everything', buzzword bingo abounds, but the reality is we are fundamentally changed by the last two years, personally, professionally, operationally and technically. This massive acceleration in the technification of our daily lives, our organizations and businesses, has brought some stark realisations on our relationship to technology, but we are still slow to learn those lessons and to effect the change that is needed to truly fly given our new freedoms (yes freedoms!) . In this session Vicky will share some of what she has learned from living inside the Great Digital Transformation.

Interpreting the word 'career' isn't always the easiest task. Most start by unpicking job statuses or job profiles but is that truly how we define careers? Is it lateral or a straight line projecting upwards? Is it the job you are in now or the sum of all your professional experiences?
In this workshop, you will get the opportunity to diversify how you interpret, relate and label your career and what methods you need to employ to get there. Your career isn't just a case of the job you do - but the sum of how you spend your professional time. Thinking differently about your time can unlock your career.
Workshop Activities:
You can expect to participate in smaller conversations with your peers, take time to conduct a self-reflection, participate or observe co-sharing moments, witness mirroring and validation, and connect over similar struggles, questions and insights.
Session Key Takeaways:
Who is this session perfect for?
If you want to expand and diversify the toolbox you have around your career or your current perspectives. It is also for you if you're open-minded to what your career can look like and not just an upward line.

It shouldn’t be about acknowledging the African women in tech success stories alone but also about providing resources to upcoming women. It is one thing to inspire these women to come into tech and it is another to provide them with requisite skills and opportunities to act on these skills.
At the end of the day, the great aim of education is not knowledge but action. While there are some making an investment in training these ladies, there are fewer opportunities for them to act on their knowledge attained.
Why do I represent African women in technology? Africa’s greatest resource is human capital and it offers a tremendous untapped economic potential that is women. If properly equipped and economically empowered, women could substantially contribute to the growth of the economy at household and national levels. That being said, there is a significant shortage of IT professionals in Europe today why not look at Africa as an alternative for sourcing tech talent? These female developers are continuously upskilling themselves but lack opportunities to compete at an international level. The world has opened up to remote work and many African countries are in the same time zone as many of the Nordic countries, with a time difference of 1-3 hours, which allows them to work in real-time. We need to extend and open up opportunities in internships, entry-level, junior, and intermediate roles to these women in IT and have extremely brilliant developers joining your team remotely, and support in building your products while they get an opportunity to work in a challenging environment and get paid at above market value.
Session Key takeaways:

Effective decision-making in product development can often appear to be natural, But, the reality is that decision-making isn’t an art, but a science that can be broken down, studied, and adopted. Once you figure out what you need to know based on the decision you’re trying to make, it becomes a muscle most of us can train.
And while it may be obvious that those who are leaders (or on their path towards becoming leaders) absolutely have to hone their decision-making skills, the same holds true for anyone working on product and whose role requires that they make choices every day: from which business objectives to prioritize to which user needs to address, what to scope into a release, or, perhaps even more critically, what to scope out. What's more, making product decisions that are based on user insights with ease and confidence is also essential towards earning the type of autonomy and ownership most of us seek in our roles. So, overall, it’s an indispensable skill to grow, and this talk aims to shed light on how to do so by leveraging the power of evidence-based insights.
In most of today's ultra-fast-moving tech companies, timely and effective decisions can make the difference between sinking and swimming. And, decision-making is no longer just relegated to leaders and executives, but anyone seeking autonomy and ownership while working on and shipping products.
While effective decision-making can seem daunting, it's also something that's within everyone's reach. This talk will explore how to analyze the parameters of the day-to-day decisions that need to be made in a product development environment, as well as the types of questions, methods, and insights that can help provide the information we need to better inform those decisions. The goal is for anyone watching to walk away with a clear process for approaching decision-making with confidence and ease.

So, overall, it’s an indispensable skill to grow, and this talk aims to shed light on how to do so by leveraging the power of evidence-based insights.
In most of today's ultra-fast-moving tech companies, timely and effective decisions can make the difference between sinking and swimming. And, decision-making is no longer just relegated to leaders and executives, but anyone seeking autonomy and ownership while working on and shipping products.
While effective decision-making can seem daunting, it's also something that's within everyone's reach. This talk will explore how to analyze the parameters of the day-to-day decisions that need to be made in a product development environment, as well as the types of questions, methods, and insights that can help provide the information we need to better inform those decisions. The goal is for anyone watching to walk away with a clear process for approaching decision-making with confidence and ease.

Based on sources 50% - 86 % of all team delivery issues, project failures and missed goals, have one root cause...Lack of collaboration. Due to booming agile practices, software engineering has seen a spike in forming cross-functional teams, however, integration between business and IT roles has not necessarily been easy.
And even then it is still a struggle to balance product and engineering views regarding prioritization. IT departments like SRE, Data Engineering, Centers of Excellence for Automation, IT and many others alike are still working in silos, even though it has a direct impact on business performance.
In this session, we'll explore the main pitfalls which lead to poor collaboration and how to avoid or address them. Explore how different profiles of personnel impact collaboration. Also, through examples, we will navigate which structures set teams for success.

I believe it’s an inflection point for women in tech. The tech ecosystem is heavily investing in attracting and retaining more diverse perspectives and the statistics are beginning to take a positive turn as we begin to see more women across all levels. This is encouraging news, but we must also be realistic – impactful change and progress will take time.
So how do we harness the positive momentum when most women will continue to be the only one – or one of few – in spaces that were not designed for us?
In this session, we will discuss how to best navigate cultures with deeply embedded power structures, sharing real stories and pragmatic actions. It starts with understanding the power that comes from recognizing our own value and silencing self-doubt – the power of one. Leveraging that confidence, we start to use our voice – for ourselves and others. But there is strength in numbers, so we must amplify our voice through a strategically curated community.

Embracing innovation but in a responsible manner from the outset - secure by design is a challenge but very much an opportunity for change.
When the boundaries are unknown how do you stay secure? With the Internet of Everything, everything is part of one blended interconnected world. When good and malicious players are in the same place how do you create a safe place? There is nowhere to hide and no such concept as a complete disconnect. We are kidding ourselves if we believe local policy enforcement can work or that endpoint security alone is sufficient.
This is a world where private information no longer exists. It resides in different services worldwide and we are collectively responsible for securing this landscape. Application creators, service providers, product development and cloud platforms all need security by design. Security planning and integration from the outset. The Internet of Everything offers everyone – good or bad – opportunities to explore and develop. The stakes are much higher. We need to rethink security. We need a new security mindset.

This resource greedy data services sector continues to rapidly grow driven by data storage, data mining and file sharing activities by a wide range of end-users. A fundamentally important question then arises; what impact does data storage have on the environment and is it sustainable? Water is used extensively in data centres, both directly for liquid cooling and indirectly to generate electricity. Data centres house a huge number of servers, which consume a vast amount of energy to respond to information requests and store files and large amounts of resulting data. In this talk the environmental footprint of global data storage is examined to throw light on this data sustainability issue.

MLOps stands for Machine Learning Operations but in reality: MLOPS ⇒ Efficiency + Scalability + Risk Reduction
Companies increasingly depend on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to provide them with a competitive edge, as a consequence, ML models have become relatively fast and cheap to build. However, more than half of these machine learning models never make it into production, leading to a missed opportunity for the business. Automation and simplicity are key to drive impact at scale and this is where MLOps shines, with tools and methods that solve this problem in a reliable and automated way.
As exciting as this new era of artificial intelligence and machine learning may seem, with machine learning models running amok, this will have a significant impact on how we work, live, and interact with one another. Thus, transparency across the entire model lifecycle to not only better understand predictions, but also to find problem drivers will be crucial and Responsible AI will be a must.

MLOps stands for Machine Learning Operations but in reality: MLOPS ⇒ Efficiency + Scalability + Risk Reduction
Companies increasingly depend on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to provide them with a competitive edge, as a consequence, ML models have become relatively fast and cheap to build. However, more than half of these machine learning models never make it into production, leading to a missed opportunity for the business. Automation and simplicity are key to drive impact at scale and this is where MLOps shines, with tools and methods that solve this problem in a reliable and automated way.

Have you ever experienced frustrations between agile teams and business functions? As both sides experience difficulty explaining the why's of their decisions. Discover how to bridge the gap, work as a team and create key results that everyone can get behind.
Within this session, Claudia will analyse a series of product and technology tales, highlighting how decisions were made using data, to indentify when a project should be stopped or when development should continue.
Agile teams struggle to get tech debt prioritised, and business functions have a hard time stopping projects that clearly have run over budget and bringing no ROI.
It is always hard to decide when to you start measuring and how to make decisions without emotions getting in the way. This is a guide on prioritization and saying no.
Session Key Takeaways:
Who is this session perfect for?
if you have struggled to make your voice heard, or you feel no-one is listening to you when you say we really should just let this project fail, or if you really believe this functionality needs a revamp, and rewrite. Are you in a position where you need to make priority calls, and you have too many stakeholders, and cannot make everyone happy?

The growing importance of AI means that it's increasingly important for anyone to be familiar with this field, but it can be daunting to get started on this learning journey. Liesbeth has trained many colleagues on the basics of AI and can help you get started too.
One hour is not enough to learn everything about AI, but it is plenty to get started! Liesbeth will get you familiar with the basics of AI, detail why you need to learn about AI, and what role you can play in creating impact through AI in your organisation. But you can't create impact by yourself. She'll discuss how to create a culture of AI learning within your organisation - and lets you practice your newly gained AI knowledge through an exercise.
Not knowing the basics of AI is a missed opportunity because the most impactful AI applications require a deep knowledge of a user or business problem, and you might be the expert on those problems.
