What this session covers

Are you tired of following the same, well-trodden path of choosing and using particular technologies and practices in your IT profession without questioning their validity or value?

​Do you feel like you have lost your voice, your creativity, or your sense of purpose in the IT world?

​Do you wonder how new technologies, such as AI and GPT, will affect your IT mindset and behavior?

​If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this session is for you. Join us for a fireside chat with renowned experts who will challenge some of the IT industry’s sacred cows and provoke you to think critically and ethically about your IT choices and actions.

​This session will not give you easy answers or solutions, but it will stimulate your curiosity, your imagination, and your courage to fight the musts and must-haves on the road to technical sanity.
