Levelling up as a Designer

Every leader, regardless of their experience or achievements, encounters challenges that can momentarily shake their confidence. This session is designed to empower leaders by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to navigate these moments with resilience, transforming them into opportunities for growth rather than struggles. Instead of focusing on perceived limitations, we will explore how understanding imposter syndrome can serve as a powerful catalyst for self-awareness and personal development. Attendees will leave with practical, actionable strategies that not only strengthen their leadership capabilities but also reframe challenges as opportunities for innovation and success. This session is not about admitting weakness; it’s about embracing a mindset of continuous improvement, enabling leaders to steer their teams and themselves with greater clarity, confidence, and power.

In a world where technology shapes our future outcomes, ethical design is not just a choice; it's an imperative. This talk will present a practical Framework for Planetary-Centric Design, entirely developed by Gabriela L. Lorenz and Betina Mazzarino. It’s a framework for regenerative product design, rooted in the principles of Permaculture. Permaculture is a systemic eco-design, a compass to navigate the complex interplay of creativity, innovation, economic viability, and social and environmental responsibility. Using this framework we are expanding our view of the world as designers, shifting the focus from user-centric to a broader, holistic, planet-centred approach. This talk is for designers, founders and investors that want to create better products for a thriving world.

Designing a case study is not much different from designing a book. Imagine you’re in a bookstore and want to find the right book. What would you do? Now, imagine you’re a book author and want to sell a book – how would you design it? In this talk, Anfisa will show you how to design a case study that stands out from hundreds of others.

It examines how artificial intelligence is changing software development. By automating routine tasks, optimizing code, and enabling predictive analytics, AI empowers developers to innovate faster and more efficiently Such integration this not only streamlines workflow but also stimulates creative solutions to complex problems, speeding up resources and improving software performance
