Creator of the PGP Protocol
Creator of Pretty Good Privacy, the most widely used email encryption software in the world.

In recent years, AI has changed every industry. AI-based intelligent video analytics has uncovered a large number of opportunities in different domains: smart delivery vehicles, autonomous drones, robots performing complex surgeries. But video analytics systems usually come at a cost: developers often have to deal with lower throughput and large memory requirements. You’ll get to learn from Ekaterina the work NVIDIA has been developing to face this challenge, as well as some related free software tools.

Wrecked Wide Web
Things have changed in the past 30+ years, ever since the WWW was created in 1989, haven't they? We shop online, watch videos, order our food, have conversations, play games, navigate to our destination, listen to music, manage our finances and whatnot. You'd think we built something magnificent in those three decades, but alas, we often did a lousy job and even got the basics right. Get ready to look to the past, present and future of web development and learn from Rowdy how we can fix what we've wrecked.

Automating a service worker with Workbox 6
"I deployed a service worker, now I need to buy a new domain” - a well-known joke about the difficulty of implementing your own caching logic. With the arrival of the sixth version of the Workbox library, the trade-off between flexibility and ease of automation of network tasks for PWA is no longer needed. In this talk, Maxim will tell you how to get started with Workbox 6, implement typical functionality for an offline web application, and add your own caching logic.

Track: All Things Dev
Consent vs Consensus: how it affects decision-making
A consensus-based decision-making process usually leads to amending the proposer’s decision by making someone happy. It’s also often assumed and implicit. Sometimes it can be beneficial, but it’s not always the case. In this session, Pietro will talk about how the future of an organization would be if it was focused on consent (i.e. there are no valid objections) instead of consensus (i.e. we are all of the same opinion), using real world examples from the developer perspective, in order to build it in the present with that in mind.

The job market has changed enormously over the last few years (especially in 2020 during Covid-19) and it’s a lot more competitive. Margaret will spill all her secrets: What do recruiters want to see on your CV? How do you identify your value proposition & quantify achievements on your CV and in your interviews?

Why frameworks suck (and how to get started with prioritization)
There’s a framework acronym for every type of prioritization style you can think of: ICE, RICE, SUP, WSJF … but do any of them actually help you decide on what to work on next? In this session, you’ll take a look at: a brief history of Agile, how prioritization came about, dismantling the myth of relying on frameworks to make decisions for you, applying product management best practices and applying the right context in your decision-making process.

Analytics in Sports, Business and Life
We all follow a certain narrative in the development of our life. That narrative has an influence in the way we manage our life, either it be on a personal level or a professional one. For that narrative, we collect data to help us make and take the best decisions. But how many of those decisions are really influenced on a conscious level by the data we collect? How can we be more aware to use that data in a suitable way? With an eagerness for human interaction and passion for people management, André challenges you to join him to talk about the use of data for decision-making, in sports, business and in life.

No idea what you're doing: on AI Observability and enabling effective human oversight in AI systems
The saying goes "you can't manage what you don't measure", but does it apply to AI? Why manage AI at all, is it not the point for AI to manage itself? And, if it does, what needs to be measured and how? In this talk, João will explain why he defends that the current generation of AI systems require human oversight to operate effectively. But what do the human overseers need?

The Psychology of UX
35 thousand! That's the average number of decisions a person makes every day. Imagine if you could hack the brain and the mind, these complex decision-making systems. Have you ever wondered how many digital decisions people make (the ones we make using technology devices like smartphones, wearables, laptops)? For decades, scientists have been studying so we can better understand how it’s possible not only to predict but also influence decisions through interventions on the environment where decisions are made. Yes, it’s possible! And Fabio will teach you the secrets behind it.

The black belt of Product Management
There’s a problem in the industry today: people strive for agility rather than effectiveness. Just look at the average conference agenda, why don’t we share stories of companies that failed or succeeded to create real product (business) success? Over the last 5 years I’ve created real life case studies of product companies that reveal the 6 levers that make the difference between agility and effectiveness. In many ways it’s like jujutsu, where agility matters, but winning matters more. Learn how to use the 6 levers to forge your path to the black belt!

A Lifetime in Games: The Past, Present and Future of the Industry
As a young child in Tucson, Arizona, young John Romero discovers the magic of arcades. Whenever he can, he drops his quarters into the machines and, to make the experience last as long as possible, he concentrates on being good, really good. By the time the family moves to California, his initials, “AJR”, are on the top of every machine’s leaderboard all over town. That love of games leads to a love for programming, and by the age of 11, Romero is making his first game. Nearly four decades later, he is still making them. From arcade to college mainframe, from the Apple II to the Apple iPhone, from Dangerous Dave to DOOM, Romero’s career has both followed and forged the industry as we know it. In this talk, Romero explores the industry through the lens of his career, past and present, and speculates on its future.
Ferdinand Goetzen
Co-founder & CEO @ Reveall

Principles for a Successful Career in Startups and Scaleups
Goetzen will draw from his own experience of leading marketing at several companies, including 2 exits before turning 30. He’ll offer concrete principles that you can apply to advance your career in the world of startups and scale-ups. This session will challenge the common advice professionals are given and focus on the real fundamentals of success, including: questioning success; how to leave your comfort zone; why you need to choose the right company; having a healthy attitude towards risk; the role of luck; and the importance of preventing burnout.

Track: Careers
Don’t take too long to define your career targets
The idea is to, looking to (but not only) my example, make the audience perceive that our career can be managed based in simple things: defining short and medium term goals, making intermediate evaluations and choose your next move, based on the gap (where do I´m and where I did define to be?)…but…never wait too much to decide. On the other side, the idea of “…if you think you will be fully prepared to apply for the next job, them this is not the right one for you…” will be explored, to show the importance of knowing your strengths, but also your limitations. Finally, analyze the portuguese case, specifically, the quality and flexibility of our students, to motivate young professionals to “explore, before decide”.
Bear Douglas
Director of Developer Relations @ Slack
Former developer advocate at Twitter and Facebook, Bear has tremendous experience in driving the movement to create APIs that make it easier for developers to build apps and improve UX. She has been leading the effort at Slack for the past years, fostering a community of developers and helping it scale.
Track: All things dev
Intuitive APIs and Developer Education
API standards, from SOAP to REST to GraphQL, have evolved to meet the needs of API providers and developer consumers. They make APIs "intuitive" by making them predictable. When product designs bump up against the constraints of standards, you can choose to force a fit or break from convention and invest in educating developers about your choices. Through case studies (incl. Facebook's Open Graph, Slack's workspace apps project) we'll examine the tradeoffs, consequences, and some learnings about how to get your developer community to come along with you.
Eltjo Poort
Architect in the digital world @ CGI
Leader of CGI’s community of architects and founder & owner of CGI’s agile architecture approach Responsive, Collaborative Digital Architecture (RCDA), he also helps organizations transform their architecture practices in line with the need for agility and speed.

Track: All things dev
How to grow an evolving architecture
As the Agile Manifesto says, “the best architectures emerge from self-organizing teams”. But this emergence is not a magical process: it’s hard work, and requires curiosity, creativity and an excellent sense of timing. In this session, you’ll see Eltjo discuss what’s needed to emerge an architecture and successfully evolve it amongst frequently changing insights, needs and goals.
André Marquet

How we designed a PM school for non-PMs: Why we need more newly trained PMs
Fixing adult education is not enough. Why do we need to fix the upper secondary education? Why are we expecting our youngsters to choose a path for the rest of their lives at 14 years old, at an age when they can’t really make an informed choice? In this session, André will argue that the current system is beyond broken because it leads to a huge penalty on students’ future prospects. And it’s divorcing talented, smart students from taking tech training, making the shortage of tech talent in our industry even more sticking. He will present how and why we could fix the secondary education model. If we want Europe to take the technical leadership towards the XXI century, we need to address the challenge of talent shortage at its root.
John Calian

Evolving the Innovation Culture in Corporates (and building beautiful products)
Large companies often talk a lot about ‘innovation’, but it’s actually rare for most companies to actually innovate. To enable ‘innovative’ change means embracing innovation culture and moving ahead to replace the very products and services that made the company successful in the first place. There will be resistance on many levels, making this a difficult endeavour. This talk will focus on how product teams need to implement strategies that allow for innovation within established company cultures in order to deliver innovative products.

Blockchain development skills beyond the 101's
Skills, methods, security & basic Cryptographic knowledge that engineering lacks when entering the Blockchain space. With current open source libraries available, it's easy to overlook the basics core fundamentals that makes makes Blockchains. From digital signatures, hashing functions, proper key management, security and tx orchestration are some of the missing skills that the basic tutorials don't teach you. This session is meant to save you time by demonstrating the skills that engineering needs to understand in order to implement the systems that most architects and security engineers really want.

Running Design Sprint for Product Discoveries: Things I wish I learned Earlier
One of the widely-known tools to facilitate Product Discovery is Design Sprint. It's a highly structured step-by-step approach to tackling big challenges, especially within digital product development. The concept is highly collaborative and customer-centric to find new opportunities and test assumptions earlier when defining a product strategy. However, in reality, there are challenges when applying it, especially in a different organizational setup. What are they? And how can we adapt to the challenges and at the same time enable teams to continuously have product discoveries?

The State of the Web
The World Wide Web has come a long way in its three decades of existence. There’s so much we can do now with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: animation, layout, powerful APIs… we can even make websites that work offline! And yet the web isn’t exactly looking rosy right now. The problems we face aren’t technical in nature. We’re facing a crisis of expectations: we’ve convinced people that the web is slow, buggy, and inaccessible. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is no fate but what we make. In this perspective-setting talk, Jeremy will take you on a journey to the past, present, and future of web design and development. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and by the end, you’ll be ready to make the web better.

A job contract with the associated boss, fixed hours, and salary is not the answer for everyone. There’s a lot of hype and jargon in the blockchain world. In this session, Andy Spence will break down some of the myths, cut through the noise and show how blockchain will change the world of work. With examples from Lionel Messi, James Bond, and $Andy. He’ll explain how digital credentials, peer-to-peer platforms, DAOs, NFTs and Web3 technology are transforming how we view work. The session will close with some implications for the future of work, society and careers.

Event Sourcing in the wild with Akka Persistence
Event Sourcing is an event-centric approach to building applications with persistent state. Even though it’s not exactly new, it’s still a hot topic in software development. So is the actor model, a concurrency model based on message-passing, popularised by Erlang and its JVM counterpart - Akka framework. Akka Persistence naturally combines the two approaches. Together with other parts of the Akka family, it gives us superpowers for building resilient, scalable services. In this talk, Mikhail will teach the basics of Event Sourcing with Akka Persistence and how EVO used its superpowers to build a reliable financial transaction processing engine.

Product Design for developers, by developers
Developing Web and Mobile apps is a complex endeavour where most companies follow inconsistent and inefficient processes. By over-focusing on the shiny design or on that amazing feature, most of the time the teams running the process have developers only as an after-though, meaning everything is pretty much set in stone before we get the Dev Teams in, leading to poor design and implementation. In this talk, Tiago and André will explore how to avoid this common pitfall and involve Developers from the get go and create quicker and seamless implementations.

Shielding applications from a microservice architecture
When we're building a (very!) large-scale platform, with an incredibly high number of requests per second, we usually adopt a fragmented approach. This also creates a much more complex, yet manageable and ideally clearer architecture and system. On top of all this, we build the client applications, but how do we keep the applications performant and ready for this large of a scale? How do the applications contribute to it and how do we guarantee that these are not exposed to the high complexity of the systems we create? In this talk, Hugo will attempt to give you a glimpse into the highly complex challenges they face as well as the alternatives and solutions they’ve found to address them.
