Choose one! <ul><li>Starting the journey: practical steps towards more diversity</li></ul>You want to help foster a more diverse work floor. But where to start? Which things should you be aware of?<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasper-preijde-3b23042a/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasper-preijde-3b23042a/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jasper Preijde</a>, Engineering Manager at <a href="https://hightechsystems.demcon.com/" title="https://hightechsystems.demcon.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Demcon</a> high-tech systems, gives you his perspective and practical steps you can take, whether you are an engineer or a manager. <ul><li>Beyond the HERO: Leading without the spotlight</li></ul><a href="https://lumolabs.io/" title="https://lumolabs.io/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LUMO Labs</a> Investment Associate <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/meronamehamekonnen/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/meronamehamekonnen/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meron Mekkonen</a> 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. <ul><li>Ethical implications of AI in healthcare</li></ul>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. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vandavitorinodealmeida/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vandavitorinodealmeida/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Vanda Almeida</a>, Responsible AI Clinical Lead at <a href="https://www.philips.com/global" title="https://www.philips.com/global" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Philips</a>, explores some of the Ethical dilemmas of AI in Healthcare with practical tips. <ul><li>Not waiting for permission: you are already a leader</li></ul>Let’s get one thing straight. Leadership doesn’t always look like a title, a corner office, or a LinkedIn headline. For (wo)men in tech and science (and many other industries as well), leadership often shows up in quieter, bolder, and more creative ways: in performance reviews, in team check-ins, in calling out bias, in lifting others up while navigating systems that weren’t built with us in mind.This session, led by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiaratregliadesign/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiaratregliadesign/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chiara Treglia</a>, Owner and Lead Facilitator at Tini Studio, Education Designer at <a href="https://www.tue.nl/en/education/tue-innovation-space" title="https://www.tue.nl/en/education/tue-innovation-space" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TU/e Innovation Space</a>, and TU/e alumna, is a highly interactive, no-BS, inclusive dialogue designed to center your experiences and challenge the narrow definitions of what it means to lead. Chiara will unpack the myths that still dominate leadership culture and replace them with real, grounded truths. You’ll make space to recognize and celebrate the small-big, everyday moments where you're already showing up like a leader and you’ll learn how others are doing the same, sometimes visibly, sometimes behind the scenes, always powerfully. Whether you hold a formal leadership title, choose not to, or still think “I’m not a leader yet,” this conversation is for you. <ul><li>The power of personal leadership</li></ul>Discover the power of personal leadership — starting with yourself. In this engaging and interactive workshop led by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerda-slagter-bb04965/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerda-slagter-bb04965/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gerda Slagter</a>, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility Regions and Co-Chapter Lead of BWN at <a href="https://www.sap.com/netherlands/index.html?geotargering_redirect=true" title="https://www.sap.com/netherlands/index.html?geotargering_redirect=true" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SAP</a>, you'll explore your core values, uncover what drives you and learn how to foster authentic leadership skills. We'll dive into personal leadership characteristics, the unique qualities of female leadership and how to embrace them with confidence. You will also see how a strong Business Women's Network can support your journey. Join us to lead with purpose and connection. <ul><li>The challenges of Applied Research in a fast moving world</li></ul>In this session,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo%C3%ABlle-van-den-broek-a1a9924/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo%C3%ABlle-van-den-broek-a1a9924/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Joëlle van den Broek</a>, Director Science and Technology Office at <a href="https://www.tno.nl/en/" title="https://www.tno.nl/en/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TNO</a>, will reflect on the evolving technology and innovation landscape, emphasizing the growing need to transition from single-disciplinary solutions to holistic system approaches. She will also discuss the increasing speed of emerging technology developments and the shortage of good colleagues, daily challenges we all face. What does this mean for innovators and what is needed to realize impactful innovations in this complex world? In this session, Joëlle will elaborate on the innovation challenges we all have to deal with, followed by an interactive discussion about what this means for innovation leadership. <ul><li>Is brutal honesty the most important ingredient for psychological safety? The science of failing well</li></ul> <a href="https://www.asml.com/en" title="https://www.asml.com/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ASML</a>'s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/manon-hendriks-4336014/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/manon-hendriks-4336014/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Manon Hendriks</a>, Senior Director Sourcing &amp; Procurement, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/renzagruter/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/renzagruter/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Renza Grüter</a>, Senior Manager Security Architecture &amp; Policy Framework, present this workshop on psychological safety.At ASML we are growing consciousness on the value of radical candor, literally translated to "openhartig" in Dutch. Which means "with your heart wide open." When our working space is not safe, we as humans tend to close our hearts. This is, of course, a natural and healthy response. We lose connection and even worse, we lose the ability to grow all unique potential behind those closed doors. We think that nurturing radical candor is also a way to build psychological safety, as clarity equals respect. Let’s explore this area together. How to keep our hearts open and set up our businesses for success! <h3>16.15 Short Break</h3>Foyer, Conference Center <h3>16.30 Panel Discussion: The future is multigenerational: rethinking leadership</h3><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-d-a-van-der-meer-181801109/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-d-a-van-der-meer-181801109/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Miriam van der Meer</a>, <a href="https://www.senergetics.ai/" title="https://www.senergetics.ai/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Senergetics</a>; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yolanda-van-dinther-5787501/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yolanda-van-dinther-5787501/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Yolanda van Dinther</a>, <a href="https://corporate.thermofisher.com/us/en/index.html" title="https://corporate.thermofisher.com/us/en/index.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Thermo Fisher Scientific</a>; and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephzekry/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephzekry/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Joseph Zekry</a>, <a href="https://www.zekrytech.com/zekrytech/about" title="https://www.zekrytech.com/zekrytech/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ZekryTech</a> and iBUILT, International Business &amp; Innovation Leaders in Tech. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingelou/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingelou/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ingelou Stol</a> will moderate a panel discussion featuring leaders from diverse generations and tech companies.
