FAQ

For whom?

We require openness to sharing knowledge and experience, as well as the willingness to bring your own topic to the discussion. Each participant has the opportunity to introduce a valuable topic and lead a discussion around it.

How much is the ticket?

This event is free of charge. However, the number of places is limited, so the organizers decide on the selection of participants based on the submitted applications.

What does the theme "Break the Silos" mean?

Our main goal is to break down communication barriers between different specializations (silos) in the IT industry. We want to create an atmosphere conducive to collaboration, idea exchange, and the creation of new, innovative solutions!

What is "Open Space"?

Open Space is a dynamic form of meeting that enables participants to actively engage and create the agenda. There is no pre-determined program; the topics and discussions are generated by the participants themselves. The main premise is to utilize the wisdom and experience of the group to achieve a specific goal – in our case, breaking down barriers and silos in the IT industry.

What will be the schedule of the event?

At the beginning of the event, participants will propose topics they are most interested in and would like to discuss. Then, based on voting, the most popular topics will be selected. Discussion groups will be formed around these topics, and each group will be given a place and time for discussion.

Participants will have the opportunity to join various discussion groups related to the topics that intrigue them the most. They can share their experiences, ask questions, and engage in interactive discussions. There will be a summary session where the group will share the conclusions and results of their discussion.
