We will speak about how technology manages in the difficult COVID-19 reality. We will present case studies by companies such as 3M, Google and Facebook. We will talk about leadership during a crisis and about effective ways of supporting employees and managing organizations in the pandemic world. We will take a look at what the future of AI seems like. We will share solutions for ensuring data security when the entire world switched to online work. We will discuss whether 5G interferes with the environment, etc.
We want to invite you for two intense days of tech workshops, tech talks, keynote speeches from the largest technology companies and the most ambitious research centers, mentoring sessions, career counseling, and side events. We believe that, as every year, the technological magic and scale of the event will provide each participant with a solid dose of inspiration and energy for further action.
