Scientific and technological conference “IT Stars”

“IT Stars” — new stars of the IT sphere!
We hope that we at Odesa IT Family managed to inspire you with new ideas, thoughts and vectors of development at our scientific and technological conference.

More than 130 students
6 Universities
10 technical departments

Students were very active! A lot of raised hands, lots of questions, lots of gifts!

We have inspected for you interesting theses from the lectures:
Do not neglect your hobby – advice for those looking for a job!
Books worth reading: “Turn the ship around” and “Negotiations with dolphins”.
GPT chat can be a mentor instead of a Senior specialist.
If you don’t know English, don’t write “fluent” in your CV (and it’s even better to improve your language skills).
Be the first or die – no longer works.
It is important to get noticed with the team!

We thank our speakers — Vlad Shimov, CEO of Capgemini Engineering Ukraine, and Olena Grigorko, Regional Department Manager (Dnipro&Odesa), for your inspiring stories about modern technologies, oft and hard skills, etc.
