Building With Purpose: Scalable, sustainable & socially impactful
Peter Kazickas
At Uncommon.org, we believe that a high quality technology education is a basic, human right. As an EdTech nonprofit, our mission is to build a sustainable and scalable model for making access to tech education and employment opportunities ubiquitous. Brilliance is everywhere, opportunity is not. Our goal is to combine the best practices of the for profit and non-profit sectors to build an organization and movement that is truly uncommon.

Anna Csernus & Adrian Muller
In these unprecedented times, companies both big and small are experiencing significant changes in how they operate. New challenges forced businesses to create innovative measures, processes, and strategies, including rethinking how employees learn and develop. Many workplaces across the globe have successfully adapted to new ways of working, using innovative techniques and technologies to support learning. Western Union is a great example of how organizations can rise to these challenges, adapt to the ‘new normal’ and shape a ‘new possible’. Join us in conversation as we share our reflections, best practices and lessons learned in our journey of transition.

II Session | Future Technologies of Edtech
The promise of immersive learning. VR potential in a nutshell
Paulius Juočeris
We are on the verge of new digital era. The near future is where virtual reality equipment is used by masses, where digital “Metaverse" concept is alive and big part of our social and leisure time, where our wellbeing and health care is being constant surveilled and adjusted using VR devices. What does that mean for the educational system? Should we innovate and challenge the system now or wait and adjust to the inevitable digital change?
Future of AI in Education
Linas Būtėnas
The future of education is based on several core pillars:
