Business tools that changed my life
We all don't like those success stories that show us only bright side of somebody's achievement, we don't see any cases about the struggle, challenges and personal difficulties. But this keynote will be different - this is a true and uncovered story with honest examples and no sugar at all.

From testing to quality assurance: how to influence a product and grow in a profession
My talk will be useful to QA specialists and other team members who are rooting for the quality of the product and ready to bear responsibility for it.
Consider what a specialist needs to do in order to move from searching for bugs to quality assurance - including how to explain to a project manager why you need to involve QA already at the stage of formulating requirements and setting goals. We'll take a look at 7 principles of continuous development, and at the same time learn how to apply them to survive in Agile. And all this in half an hour

Why curiosity is the best soft skill
Requirements management in a bunch of projects
How to work with a business customer, when he has a million ideas, wants a plan for the year ahead and is inclined to resort every week so that development takes the "small" task out of turn.
We proposed a tool for working with features (business initiatives) to our business customers, which is a form of 7 questions. The talk is about problems we encountered, how they were decided, how they were implemented it in the holding, where 20 development teams were involved in product development.
The talk is useful not only for managers, but also for those who feel the pain of collecting and processing customer wishes. Perhaps it is our implementation story that will inspire you to act.

How to stop choosing frameworks and start living
Imagine that you are faced with the task of hanging a shelf. How will you solve it? You can immediately take up your favorite tool: a hammer and nails. If you are Senior MolotokJS Developer, you can hammer not only nails, but also screws. And you can set aside time to research whether you need a shelf at all.
So in the front end. The framework is just a tool. Like any tool, it has tasks for which it was created. In my report, I will share what you should rely on when choosing the right tool and how to stop spending business teams and money on this.

Sentiment analysis: what is, why and how?
You have created a product / service and want to know what your users think about it in order to improve or refine it. But if there are a lot of reviews, how to get the main thing out of them? Here the task of computer linguistics comes to the rescue - the analysis of tonality. Let us examine how to distill the meaning from the texts of reviews and evaluate their relationship to the object. Consider specific examples on real data.
Remote work: myths and reality
Maria on the example of her own experience will talk about why you should not be afraid of remote work, what are the pros and cons when you are switching to a remote work, and do stereotypes work. The report will be useful to those who want to try to work remotely, but still can not decide on it, as well as to all those who at least once thought what it is like to work remotely.
Bitrix is not a sentenсe
What is it like to be a developer who is coding on unpopular technology? Probably it is uncomfortable, especially when you face with neglect from the community.
And imagine what is it like to be the head of a company that relied on such technology? How to stay in the market, how to attract employees and how to make their life better?
Ksenia Shcherbinina, CEO of the Let's Rock, Barnaul studio will answer these questions and her story in IT in her talk "Bitrix is not a sentence"

Features of the screenwriter profession in the game development industry
The game development industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. The games are being improved, the stories in the games are being improved.
