Empowering Agency & Community Through Web3 And NFTs

12:10pm

HomeAgendaEmpowering Agency & …

Session Overview

Web3 and NFTs are often misunderstood as silly jpegs or in association with the so-called metaverse. This session aims to demystify the concepts of web3 and NFTs, particularly within the context of how web3 can enable a true democratisation of technology, and empower both organisations and individuals to engage in society on their own terms. For the first time in history, we have a viable infrastructure from which we can set the terms and conditions of how we’d like to interact with each other, and within which we can have total ownership over our own data.

What are web3 and NFTs exactly and why should I care? How do we reclaim technology to serve the needs of society? How do we break out of a world that’s been determined by only a handful of corporations or institutions? Although Web3 and NFTs are commonly associated with the crypto industry, which has primarily been exclusive to women and other marginalised identities, web3 ultimately opens up the possibilities for empowering individuals and organisers alike to determine their own terms of engagement with the world.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the basics of web3 and NFTs, along with other key concepts such as decentralisation and blockchain technology
  • Why web3 and NFTs can be empowering to individuals, communities and organisations alike
  • Real world examples of applications of web3 and NFTs, how you can get started on thinking about how the technology can be applied in your situation, why it’s beneficial to everyone

This session is for you if…

  • You’re simply curious about the hype around web3 and NFTs
  • You want to understand how blockchain technology can be applied in the real world in a variety of contexts
  • You’re looking for alternatives to social media to engage with others that speak to your values and interests
  • You’re a creator, artist, or builder looking to create a loyal and involved fanbase without the interference of third parties
  • You’re a brand or organisation looking to have a more intimate connection with your community
  • You’re an activist looking for alternative ways to move your cause forward

We all use maps in our cars, on our apps and more. Imagine what would be possible if map developers had access to the highest-quality open data? Learn how, through an open-data foundation called Overture and its fully integrated solution TomTom Maps Platform, is setting the new industry standard for mapmaking.

Maps are everywhere. We see them when we get in our car, or when we find a new place to eat. We also experience their impact in the cities we visit, the roads we drive down to avoid traffic and more. With the ever-increasing demand, the geolocation industry is on a steep growth path over the next decade. To keep up with this progress, we need to step up our map quality.

The issue is that there are so many map options out there and none of them are interoperable. You may like the search functionality from one map provider but prefer the real-time traffic information from another. Combining the two is a headache, if it’s even possible.

The dream is to have an open-data ecosystem that brings together the best features of different maps for developers to use. This is Overture. Formed by TomTom, AWS, Meta, Microsoft and ESRI, the Overture Maps Foundation is a non-profit open map data project that ensures mapmaking is easy, collaborative and of the highest quality.

But every customer has specific needs. The TomTom Maps Platform will meet these. Forming an open base map built from Overture data, the platform will build layers upon this, enabling customization and configurability of maps so any solution is possible.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • What is Overture and how TomTom, Meta, AWS, Microsoft and ESRI are changing the mapmaking game
  • How developers can simplify the work needed to build location-based solutions by using open data and platforms like TomTom’s
  • Learn how TomTom addressed the challenges it faced in developing its Maps Platform

  • You’re a map developer who faces challenges with the interoperability of map data and services
  • You’re excited about the possibility of open data

The future of work is now and automation has become a critical component of the enterprise digital transformation strategies. All organisations are placing ‘automation first’ initiatives on their lists of strategic imperatives. Why not get a head start into this new innovation era and future-proof your workforce or yourself?

We are at the start of a new era, the Automation Citizen Developers era. This turning point came as a natural consequence due to limited resources in IT or data science which led to limited scope and pace for Intelligent Automation opportunities. Gartner is predicting that by 2025 the number of citizen developers across large enterprises will be at least four times higher than the professional developers.

This workshop will take a deep dive into key components to consider to run across your organisation a successful Citizen Development program aligned to your automation objectives and to your business strategy: innovation as a culture, change management, digital literacy, process improvement, technology stack, governance model and overall organisation.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Come away with a Citizen Automation Governance model focused on people, process and technology
  • A Master plan for up-skilling yourself or your employees or to reduce the learning curve and time-to-value
  • An Automation First Mindset roadmap to shrink digital skills gap, scale with confidence and maximize success

How secure are your organisation’s data and systems? Given the increasing number of cyber threats circulating today, it’s essential that you strengthen your security posture to more effectively guard against ransomware, data breaches, and other types of unwanted events.

Information security standards and best practices are all headed toward the same goal: solid and scalable systems that protect IT assets and privacy. The GDPR require you to implement measures to ensure a level of personal data security that’s “appropriate”, taking into account the risks presented by the data processing activities you are involved in.

An important step that will lead to the growing importance of privacy on an international level is about to take place this year. The International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) will adopt ISO 31700 on privacy by design, a new worldwide privacy standard for consumer goods and services. The new standard provides guidelines for organisations to take into account a consumer’s privacy throughout the design, development and the rest of the product lifecycle.

There is no question then that an organisation with ISO 27001 or both ISO 27001/27701 certifications certainly has a distinct advantage when complying with the GDPR. The drawback is that many ISO 27001/27701 implementation projects take time, money, blood, sweat and tears. As with many aspects of GDPR compliance, it is ultimately a decision as to whether the long-term benefits can justify the sometimes arduous process of getting the certification based on the context and data processed by the organisation.

The Why:

  • How secure are your organisation’s data and systems? Given the increasing number of cyber threats circulating today, it’s essential that you strengthen your security posture to more effectively guard against ransomware, data breaches, and other types of unwanted events
  • How can international standards support your organisation’s data protection compliance requirements?
  • How can we prepare practical audit checklists according to the best global standards and regulations?

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Supporting your compliance obligations, such as ISO standards and GDPR
  • Improving your information security and data protection posture and raising awareness throughout your organisation
  • Reducing your security risks and operational costs and encouraging continuous improvement
  • Boost your credibility abroad, as the ISO standard is internationally known

Neurodiversity In The Workplace: Building Inclusive Teams Beyond Noise Cancelling Headphones

Each brain is unique and everyone has different ways to process and think, yet, roughly 20% of our population qualifies as neurodiverse. This means, chances are high that our teams are also built of people who battle diagnoses like ADHD, Autism, or Dyslexia. Especially women often go through life undiagnosed, in numbers – 75% of women with ADHD are unaware – having developed coping mechanisms without ever knowing.

In this workshop we want to explore strategies to build environments for your teams or yourself that allow for “Neuro-Spiciness” to be the fuel of innovation, discuss what it takes for us and our colleagues to feel accepted and how to meet the needs of “unaware” neurodiverse colleagues.

Within DI&E departments, the awareness for mental health topics, including Neurodiversity, has luckily been increasing over the past decade. Yet, building habits that go beyond individual behaviour or offering access to helpful tools is something that most teams still have to learn. Most companies, most tech teams, and most organisations are structured, following neurotypical concepts, making it challenging for employees with ADHD, Autism or Dyslexia (amongst others) to navigate. A work culture that is accessible for neurodiverse people also always benefits those whose brains qualify as “neurotypical”, so why wait?

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Learn about the challenges and strengths of neurodiverse people in the workplace and how to use or combat them successfully
  • Discover how we can move beyond neurotypical standards and build a team that works for every brain
  • Connect with your own neuro-spiciness, celebrate the magic of “being the odd one” and explore how you can inspire the people around you

This session is for you if…

  • You are neuro-spicey. Join us and share your experience, connect with others to learn from them and build a foundation to bring back into your own team.
  • You lead teams. Neurodiversity is a topic that most people still don’t feel comfortable being very upfront about. The stigma and discrimination that comes with being openly autistic or dyslexic, etc. hold people back and increases their risk of burning out due to having to mask or suffering from related anxiety and depression. This also accounts for team members that are unaware or undiagnosed. Creating a neuro-inclusive environment as Lead can change your employees’ life and set you up for success.

AI is currently being applied in almost every sector of our lives such as healthcare, education, entertainment, transport and finance to name a few. However as use has risen, so has awareness of potential for bias, discrimination and other types of harms. AI systems also mediate social perceptions and interactions and have environmental and climate consequences. Given the pervasive impacts of AI systems, it is no surprise that the field of AI ethics has gained force in recent years.

The ethical aspects of AI are studied and debated in diverse fields including philosophy, social science, computer science, and engineering with each field contributing distinct viewpoints and practices. Integrating humanistic and technical perspectives has proved challenging. But AI systems are sociotechnical, meaning there are complex interdependencies between their ‘social’ and ‘technical’ aspects throughout their lifecycle. Interdisciplinary approaches are the only way forward.

In this session, a data scientist and an anthropologist specialising in AI ethics reflect on the challenges of putting AI ethics into action, the tools currently available for organisations to align their principles and practices, and examples of cutting-edge approaches to ethical and responsible AI being used in industry.

We draw on our different experiences and backgrounds to shed light on the complex and crucial challenge of developing ethical AI for more inclusive and equitable futures.

In the session we will discuss with the audience the different challenges of bringing AI ethics into practice and open a debate about why we need AI ethics integrated in the development cycle of AI now more than ever after the recently released large language models like ChatGPT.

Public speaking is much like being the gazelle being watched by a group of hungry lions. Many women avoid it or dismiss it as a career out of an understandable fear of being eaten! We struggle with thoughts of sharing our knowledge and experiences in public forums because we think we’re not technical enough, or smart enough, or that our thoughts and experiences are not interesting enough.

Public speaking brings us great career benefits and helps us stand out as experts in a field where women remain underrepresented. In this session, we’ll work together to share our experiences and debunk the many fears we have about public speaking and the myths associated with presenter style, particularly within the tech industry. You will also have the opportunity to build your own plan and resource guide to improve your public speaking skills and build the courage to take to the stage to share the emerging technologies used in this radically changing world.

Women and minorities remain underrepresented in the speaker lineups for many of the tech conferences and meetups we attend as professionals. This lack of visible role models impacts the composition of the sector that we want to make equal. The ideas and experiences conveyed in these conferences also impact the future technologies we build in this ever-changing world. Voicing the experiences and knowledge of underrepresented groups increases the diversity of thought in building inclusive technology that represents and supports everyone in society.

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Debunking the myths surrounding public speaking, including that it is a character attribute you naturally have rather than a practised skill that you too can learn, enjoy and benefit from in your career
  • Personal techniques to handle the fear of speaking
  • Construction of your own resources and plan to build on your public speaking skills

Becoming aware of your vulnerability takes courage, and harnessing it is so rewarding. Embark with us on this journey to leadership and more connected teams through empathy, authenticity and efficiency.

(Yes, admittedly, we sound like your friendly Instagram self-appointed thought leaders, but we swear we are not.)

Session Key Takeaways:

  • A newly-found support group you can nurture to help you grow
  • Practical, actionable tips to support you as an authentic leader
  • Proven tools to practice vulnerability

This session is for you if…you’re a people manager (whether seasoned or newly-minted) and struggling with the idea of being vulnerable at work, not having all the answers, fighting impostor syndrome…

Ever get frustrated that you’ve explained to your colleagues and friends a thousand times why they need to adopt more secure behaviours, but even though they know, they still choose insecure behaviours?

Neurodiversity In The Workplace: Building Inclusive Teams Beyond Noise Cancelling Headphones

Each brain is unique and everyone has different ways to process and think, yet, roughly 20% of our population qualifies as neurodiverse. This means, chances are high that our teams are also built of people who battle diagnoses like ADHD, Autism, or Dyslexia. Especially women often go through life undiagnosed, in numbers – 75% of women with ADHD are unaware – having developed coping mechanisms without ever knowing.

In this workshop we want to explore strategies to build environments for your teams or yourself that allow for “Neuro-Spiciness” to be the fuel of innovation, discuss what it takes for us and our colleagues to feel accepted and how to meet the needs of “unaware” neurodiverse colleagues.

Within DI&E departments, the awareness for mental health topics, including Neurodiversity, has luckily been increasing over the past decade. Yet, building habits that go beyond individual behaviour or offering access to helpful tools is something that most teams still have to learn. Most companies, most tech teams, and most organisations are structured, following neurotypical concepts, making it challenging for employees with ADHD, Autism or Dyslexia (amongst others) to navigate. A work culture that is accessible for neurodiverse people also always benefits those whose brains qualify as “neurotypical”, so why wait?

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Learn about the challenges and strengths of neurodiverse people in the workplace and how to use or combat them successfully
  • Discover how we can move beyond neurotypical standards and build a team that works for every brain
  • Connect with your own neuro-spiciness, celebrate the magic of “being the odd one” and explore how you can inspire the people around you

This session is for you if…

  • You are neuro-spicey. Join us and share your experience, connect with others to learn from them and build a foundation to bring back into your own team.
  • You lead teams. Neurodiversity is a topic that most people still don’t feel comfortable being very upfront about. The stigma and discrimination that comes with being openly autistic or dyslexic, etc. hold people back and increases their risk of burning out due to having to mask or suffering from related anxiety and depression. This also accounts for team members that are unaware or undiagnosed. Creating a neuro-inclusive environment as Lead can change your employees’ life and set you up for success.
