IT management

Presentations on&nbsp;significant scientific phenomena that could reshape the world at&nbsp;large and the IT&nbsp;industry in&nbsp;particular, possibly as&nbsp;soon as&nbsp;tomorrow.

Inspiration

An&nbsp;idea alone does not guarantee results, a&nbsp;fact known to&nbsp;anyone who has ever launched a&nbsp;project. To&nbsp;truly impact the world, an&nbsp;idea must become a&nbsp;phenomenon.But what defines a&nbsp;phenomenon? Global events, such as&nbsp;macro trends, game-changers, technological and scientific breakthroughs. And, undoubtedly, people, with their personal practices and approaches pushing the world forward. This is&nbsp;the central theme of&nbsp;YaTalks 2023.Join us&nbsp;to&nbsp;discuss the phenomena that have shaped the world over the past year and those we&nbsp;have yet to&nbsp;create together.

Over 100 IT&nbsp;experts and scientists. Technical reports on&nbsp;development and ML. Popular science lectures and presentations on&nbsp;team management

<h3>An&nbsp;idea alone does not guarantee results, a&nbsp;fact known to&nbsp;anyone who has ever launched a&nbsp;project. To&nbsp;truly impact the world, an&nbsp;idea must become a&nbsp;phenomenon. And it&nbsp;is&nbsp;the phenomena that keep the world evolving.</h3>But any phenomenon has a&nbsp;cause. Behind each one, there is&nbsp;a&nbsp;code. We&nbsp;are the result of&nbsp;unique genetic code combinations. Social and cultural codes shape our vision of&nbsp;the world. And the advent of&nbsp;program code caused science and technology to&nbsp;evolve at&nbsp;a&nbsp;speed never imagined before.The world used to&nbsp;be&nbsp;reshaped by&nbsp;the steam engine and the light bulb inventors. Today, artificial intelligence and supercomputers help conduct thousands of&nbsp;autonomous scientific experiments daily and analyze enormous amounts of&nbsp;data.This has already enabled scientists to&nbsp;begin clinical trials of&nbsp;a&nbsp;cancer vaccine. Climate researchers can now predict and mitigate the climate change effects more accurately. And the James Webb Space Telescope was able to&nbsp;discover the most distant exoplanet and detect organic molecules in&nbsp;galaxies far away.Behind every phenomenon, there is&nbsp;a&nbsp;code. And behind every line of&nbsp;code, there is&nbsp;a&nbsp;dedicated individual. Engineers and developers, researchers and analysts, backenders and frontenders&nbsp;&mdash; we&nbsp;all have different backgrounds but a&nbsp;common desire to&nbsp;shape the future.With every product developed, feature implemented, and neural network trained, we&nbsp;turn ideas into phenomena that change life for the better.Once, YaTalks also was an&nbsp;idea that five engineers from the Yandex’s&nbsp;Ekaterinburg office implemented. Today, YaTalks is&nbsp;an&nbsp;international event bringing together thousands of&nbsp;people in&nbsp;Belgrade, Moscow, Almaty, Yerevan, Ekaterinburg, and other parts of&nbsp;the world.YaTalks speakers and attendees speak the same language as&nbsp;YaTalks, which engineers created for engineers. This year, we&nbsp;will dive deep into the technology, analyze industry-shaping tech trends, discuss IT&nbsp;management practices, and get inspired by&nbsp;landmark scientific ideas.Join in!

In&nbsp;2023, Yandex’s&nbsp;premier conference for the IT&nbsp;community YaTalks celebrates its 5th anniversary. We&nbsp;decided to&nbsp;commemorate this by&nbsp;dedicating YaTalks 2023 to&nbsp;understanding phenomena.
