After last year we are quite tired, a bit bored, and massively overwhelmed with everything made by AI - said Dr Bianka Siwinska, CEO of the Perspektywy Educational Foundation, opening this year’s Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit -
We are also lost in what is real and what is not real, who is the creator and who’s not, what is reality and what is fake news. We are trying to see in a new way the great value in things we know for sure and we know for sure their origin: human-made things. Things made with our imagination need focus. And the Summit is about us, humans, about our uniqueness, about what makes us irreplaceable, special - about our greatness - she emphasized.
Summit is about people
We, humans, are tiny, very fragile, and very limited in time, but what is the most beautiful - is that we are standing between the infinity of the cosmos and, the infinity of the micro world - the particles world - and we are still trying to understand things so much bigger than us. We are always curious, always asking questions, always trying to understand. And this is very beautiful, I think. This is the best in humanity. And this uniqueness, this beauty, is what we want to celebrate with you today and tomorrow.
At Summit 2024 we’re discussing the technologies we create that reflect who we are – beautiful, smart, and fair. Technologies that help build a better, safer, and more equal world. Technologies that need to reflect the best in humanity and help us achieve our greatness -
Summit is about new technologies
This year we're talking a lot about science – because science is the foundation of all new technologies. We're diving into the quantum level and, for the first time, showing the latest breakthroughs in quantum technologies. Quantum computers and q communication are still making baby steps. Still, they have the potential to turn the world upside down, as quantum physics did with our understanding of the material world. We want you to be one step ahead and here, at the Summit, you can learn a lot, including the basics of quantum programming. Scientists still argue if quantum computers could be considered actual computers. And you have this privilege. Check it for yourself in the Science Hall.
Summit is about your greatness
At this Summit we're also talking about your greatness – the beauty, strength, and wisdom you represent. Your greatness in trying new things, learning even though people around may think something is not for you. The greatness in stepping out and fighting for yourself & fighting for and protecting those who are in a weaker position supports other women to be seen and to be heard. Your boldness to show how different you are and be proud of it. And finally, this incredible courage to come to the Summit today without any previous experience in tech, to start over, and shape life the way you want. Because only you define who you are. All of us have our own story. This year's Summit dares you to "UNLEASH YOUR GREATNESS”. We, women, together are the driving force behind science, innovation, and ethical technologies. We’re here to make it right, The power is ours.
Summit is about our Partners
Big thank you – to our Partners (companies, universities, institutions, media & Communities of so many kinds, bringing so many values), You are bringing your best experts from the whole world.
