Under the title Multicultural IT Leaders in Czechia, we will explore what it takes to lead teams across countries, cultures, and time zones. The program will feature short lightning talks from experienced IT leaders working in international environments, followed by an open panel discussion and informal networking. The evening will bring diverse perspectives on working in a global context and share practical experiences with leading teams across markets and cultures.
