Online Tech Conference 2021- Autumn Edition | Inspirational

Description:
We like to think the tech industry is a meritocracy: if you put your head down and do your work well, you will be recognized. Unfortunately, this is not typically the case. In order to advance your career, you will likely need to raise your profile internally at your company and/or externally in the broader developer community. During this session, Lauren will share personal stories of how she has worked to overcome the discomfort of raising her profile. You'll leave this session with practical steps you can take in the coming weeks and months to raise your profile. Check the resources shared by the speaker.

Description:
It is no secret that the tech industry is suffering a diversity crisis. Despite initiatives to diversify, technology is still perceived as a predominantly white, male, middle-class industry. But this wasn't always the case - in 1943, computing was dominated by women. What happened? Join Antonia Forster, XR Technical Specialist, for a data-driven exploration of the gender gap:- how it affects your bottom line, how AI and machine-learning can reinforce bias, and the powerful evidence-based strategies you can implement to "close the gap".

¿Sabes qué además de la UX existe toda una historia detrás de la Candidate Xperience? Y, aún más: ¿sabes que hay toda una ciencia detrás de la Professional/ Worker Xperience? Bueno, no es una "ciencia", es mentira. Pero te prometo que es interesante. En esta charla profundizaremos en analíticas, anécdotas, acciones clave y personas detrás del "developer xperience", hablando concretamente del sector Tech. Todo con datos, testimonios, y mucho humor y mala leche.

Description:
A barrier to contribution is a reason for a contributor to give up participating, which negatively impacts in the ecosystem (OSS communities, internal developments, etc.). Understanding common barriers enables managers and community leaders to identify effective means to make their development teams more engaging and thereby improve the ecosystem. This talk will present a research run at the Apache Software Foundation (700 surveys, 20 interviews) with 88 different barriers and mitigation strategies provided by the community. This will give an overview of the diversity gap as well.

Description:
Facebook, Amazon, Google and so on are not the problem. They are just the symptoms of a broken data economy and will be history in the foreseeable future anyway, like many tech giants before them. The problem is the underlying system and business architecture, if this does not change, the successors will not be better. Today's business architectures have created dysfunctional markets and system architectures play tricks on the user. So how does an architecture have to look like that benefits citizens, business and civil society in equal measure?
