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.

Workshop
Using Security Standards And Best Practices To Reinforce Your Data Security Posture
60 mins
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
This session is for you if… you are a CTO, DPO, CISO, Information Security manager, Cyber Security manager, Data Protection manager, Privacy manager, GRC manager, IT Auditor, Risk Practioner.

As an industry, we are always looking for the latest and greatest to lower cost and risk and increase velocity. For every new threat, vulnerability, technology challenge, there is a new tool. But new tools mean higher cost, more complexity, and ultimately, more attack vectors. So how do we address these issues?
People and processes are the key. We’ll address how to build scalable teams which will simultaneously improve your IT landscape and your cyber security posture.
Cyber security is an increasingly important topic, but we also know that the speed of iteration is key to the productivity of a team. The way we are looking at both of these things isn’t working, and we need to take a more holistic approach by zooming out and looking at more variables.
Session Key Takeaways:
- The unpredictability of humans can be an asset, especially when threat modelling
- The misperception of risk can be mitigated by diversity
- The composition of your teams can ultimately help you scale your organisation

Why Should You Scale Bottom-Up In Your Organization?
30 mins
We all have been through company reorganisations, probably more than once. Some are understandable and produce good outcomes, others aren’t, creating insecurities, lack of confidence in leadership, unnecessary changes, and even more complex paths of communication or decision-making. What is the difference, then?
Team-first thinking and the importance of well-defined boundaries to balance cognitive load within the teams is an important matter to consider: it directly fosters teams’ independence and minimising the overhead of communication, enhancing faster decision-making and increasing the quality and throughput of delivery.
Is there a well-proven way of scaling or changing the current landscape of company organisations? In this session we’ll explore Conway’s Law and the importance of team landscape and interactions, supported by an actual study case in the industry, and how well-designed teams charts can improve independence, autonomy, and motivation of the teams, leading to a faster and better rate and quality of delivery.
Session Key Takeaways:

- Exploring the importance of a clear architectural strategy to a clear team topology landscape
- How to improve productivity with “fast flow”
This session is for you if… you influence the scaling processes of your company at any level or if you are interested in understanding the importance of having effective and efficient teams within your company.

Workshop
Neurodiversity In The Workplace: Building Inclusive Teams Beyond Noise Cancelling Headphones
60 mins
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.
- You are curious about this buzzword, flying around more and more these days 😉

Empowering Agency & Community Through Web3 And NFTs
30 mins
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.

Mastering Public Speaking In Tech
60 mins
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
This session is for you if…you are anxious or fearful when undertaking public speaking today, or believes that public speaking is not relevant or beneficial to their current career path.
