EM Kata #17 - Unconference: AI & Tech Leadership (Two Tracks)
Last meetup before the summer! This time, we are trying a new format — EM Kata Unconference.
Two tracks: AI in software delivery and fundamentals of tech leadership. Participants can propose topics and either give a short talk or host a discussion.
