Accepted Talks:

Don't try to look smart. Be smart

The technology industry is growing and already huge. The number of humans in this industry and the number of areas they can work on are overwhelming. The number of opportunities often don't seem as many for an industry that big, nonetheless.

Regardless of how long you've been in this industry, you often feel overwhelmed, unfocused, demotivated by the size of the industry, the uncertainty it generates and the urge of doing something others consider important.

Throughout this talk, the audience will learn how to grow in an industry that is often blasted with intellectual appearances, quantity over quality and unstoppable, constant, changes. The talk provides tips to cope with large communities and fields as well as experiences and examples.
