Shehara's KeyNote

Imagine What's Possible the democratization of Technology – making the complex simple 

 
 

Shehara’s keynote talks about the possibilities and the many paths to engaging with technology beyond engineering and coding, and the importance of creativity and diversity of experience. The world is changing rapidly, disruption is happening everywhere, and we are at the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution. In these times of incredible change, the opportunities and possibilities are infinite. 

 
Therefore, it is very important that we have diverse voices and perspectives, designing, reviewing, and delivering technology in all areas. Shehara is one of them. Shehara gets great joy from seeing the interest and excitement when she talks about technology to a diverse group of people, – ranging in age from 6 to 85. Her passion for the democratisation of technology and increasing the diversity of people in STEM shines through in her talks. 

 
She also has a series of tech sessions that cover Cloud, AI, and Digital Transformation.
