Devoxx Ukraine 2023: AI – Friend or Foe?

The ongoing war in Ukraine still causes unbearable losses. Striving for lasting peace has a high price, and the devastating reality continues to affect our lives each day. Hence, our job hasn’t been done yet. Frontline soldiers, volunteers and resilient civilians are all fighting for freedom and life. Foreign powers continue to shape the course of the events, and we believe that together we can do more.

Devoxx 2023 will be held as a charitable conference again. We have no doubts that the power of AI technologies will make a huge difference in shaping the current worlds’ landscape.

About what we are going to talk:

– Transformative Potential of Artificial Intelligence in the IT Industry

– How to benefitf rom AI and Boost Innovations

– AI: The Catalyst for Evolution or Job Displacement?

Join us to gain thought-provoking and enlightening experience, as we will explore the immense potential of AI and its impact on our lives!

Our goal is to raise €50K that will be spent on the purchase of medical backpacks stuffed with a full range of necessary medical supplies. Providing our defenders with such sets can make a huge difference for them during active combat actions on a front line.

You are rocking!

€50000

 / €50000
* includes individual and partners' donations

We collaborate with the Leleka Foundation that equips medical professionals. Leleka Foundation, a non-profit organization, was founded in December 2014, when several Ukrainians living in the United States joined their efforts with some volunteer initiatives in Ukraine to procure and distribute medical and first-aid supplies to paramedics, emergency crews, and hospitals in the wake of the 2014 russian aggression in the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea.

We are happy to announce a special offer from our top speakers. Make the donation for €300* and more to get an individual or group mentoring session

* if you have already made the donation, you can add the remaining sum. All your donations will be summarized.

The number of sessions is limited. This option will be available until all sessions are distributed among the participants who made the appropriate donations.

What's on?

This year, Devoxx Ukraine will be held as a 1-day online event with different session types (regular talks, small-talks, deep-dive, keynote) in 3 steams, where experts, enthusiasts, developers, and innovators in the field of artificial intelligence will expand your knowledge and shape your understanding of AI’s influence not only on the IT industry in general but on the improvement of humanity.
