Visibility is not an end in itself - it determines who is heard, who helps shape things and whose perspectives count. In the tech industry - one of the most forward-looking and at the same time most homogeneous fields - this visibility is often unevenly distributed. Women, queer people and marginalised groups achieve outstanding things on a daily basis, but are still too rarely considered in decision-making rooms, on panels or in product development.
This presentation looks at how networks can be used as a strategic tool to break down structural barriers, enable participation and make new role models visible. It is about the role of allies (allyship), the power of targeted communication and the development of sustainable structures in which diversity is not the exception but a prerequisite for innovation. An impulse for all those who not only want to belong, but also want to actively shape the rules of the game.
Imagine being in your early 20s and suddenly writing your first computer science book. For Lisa, this is not a vision of the future - it's reality. Today, not even 30 and four books later, she is not only on the biggest tech stages in Germany, but also on the "Forbes Under 30" list. Oh yes, and she works at Google on the side. Sounds like she's found the cheat code for life? In her talk, Lisa shows how she found her own way in IT from a working-class child. From her first encounters with programming, through challenges during her studies and her first successes at hackathons, to jobs in large tech companies and her commitment to more diversity in the tech world.
Software testing is much more than just finding bugs. It is a varied, analytical and often creative job that plays a key role in software development. In this talk, Susanna Stengl gives an insight into the multifaceted world of software testing: What different roles are there? Which skills are really crucial (spoiler: it's not just the technical ones!)? And why is this field well suited for career changers? Whether you're a talented communicator, problem solver or quality fanatic... find out if software testing is the right path for you!
Traditional gender relations continue to have a significant influence on young people's decisions in favour of a particular apprenticeship or course of study. The lecture will explain the reasons for stereotypical career choices and highlight their influence on those affected and on society. It will also explain how programmes such as Girls' Day - Girls' Future Day - can influence the choice.
In this session you will get a quick guide to take agency in your career, which will cover essential topics to help you become the driver of your professional journey.
Each of the key topics will include a practical exercise or call-to-actionso you'll leave the session with many tangible steps to implement.
Exciting times: AI will change every industry during this decade.
We live in the most exciting time in mankind!
Ragnar Kruse will show you what is possible today, already.
The impact on our industry could be huge! 10+% on our GDP is possible.
How often have we broken new ground - sometimes in the wrong direction, often with valuable insights?
What began as purely internal training has evolved: Today, we organise genuine specialist training courses, especially in onboarding. In this way, we not only provide an efficient introduction for new colleagues, but also an inspiring one.
This helps us to bring knowledge to life - and that inspires. New employees immediately realise that this is about more than just processes. It's about understanding, about quality, about passing on knowledge.
And that is precisely what drives us:
Sharing knowledge, ensuring quality, arousing interest - together with you.
Cats are cute, make you content and happy. So it's not surprising that 15% of global internet traffic is cat memes, cat pictures and cat videos. But how does "cat content" reach consumers?
What is IP? Why do you need an IP address? What is DNS? What does the engine room of the global Internet look like?
Based on simple principles and mechanisms, the lecture shows what is needed to provide a global network for billions of people and keep it running.
Learn about fibre optics, switches, routers, firewalls, protocols and network admins and what holds it all together. Because only a happy admin is a good admin, and that requires coffee and cat pictures!
What do modern software development and Formula 1 have in common? Speed is crucial. In this talk, I will show you how we started to build a platform that accelerates our internal software development and optimises processes. Step by step, we are creating an infrastructure that does not slow down innovation - but accelerates it.
Experience current industry topics in a practical way and learn from leading experts - this is exactly what the masterclasses offer. The format goes beyond a conventional presentation. In practice-orientated sessions, you can discover innovative solutions, make valuable contacts and gain directly applicable insights.
