Identity Intelligence: Unlocking Your Leadership Superpower in Tech
As women in tech, we navigate a world shaped by AI, automation, and rapid change—yet our greatest advantage isn’t just technical expertise, but the power of our unique identity. In this inspiring keynote, Ingrid Tappin, leadership innovation expert and founder of Diverse Leaders in Tech, introduces Identity Intelligence (IdQ)—a game-changing framework that helps you transform your lived experiences into your most powerful leadership strengths.

Through the IdQ Quadrant and Exceptional Leadership Archetypes, Ingrid will reveal how the very challenges you’ve faced—being the ‘only’ in the room, overcoming biases, navigating different worlds—have given you the adaptability, resilience, and insight to lead with impact. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of your leadership potential and the confidence to turn your unique story into a competitive edge in tech.

Beyond the HERO: Leading without the spotlight

LUMO Labs Investment Associate Meron Mekkonen presents: From heroic to human-centered leadership. In a world of complex challenges and constant innovation, the myth of the lone, heroic leader no longer serves us. At LUMO Labs, we believe leadership should be human-centered, empowering, impact-driven and powered by diverse, collaborative teams. Real change doesn’t come from the spotlight — it comes from the culture we build and the people we elevate.

Ethical implications of AI in healthcare

The power of bringing AI to healthcare is undeniable; however, it doesn’t come without risks. Ethics must remain at the forefront in the ever-evolving realm of healthcare technology. By embracing responsible AI best practices, healthcare systems and professionals can harness the potential of AI, ensuring accountable and ethical integration that benefits patients while upholding the highest ethical standards. Vanda Almeida, Responsible AI Clinical Lead at Phililps, explores some of the Ethical dilemmas of AI in Healthcare with practical tips.
