Technology Today Topic: Cloud
Cloud technology is highly relevant to most companies today, with everything moving off premises. Consider how cloud migrations are changing society and let this keynote get you thinking and researching more if you are not already familiar with this topic.

It's 2029. What's the Headline and Image about AI? Create your post with AI if possible!
Talk about this with your mentor/mentee.
Career Readiness Topic: Interview Skills
Great resumes! Now moving onto stage 2 of the hiring process, use this keynote to reflect on your past interviews, discuss tips and tricks for interviews, and potentially do a mock interview (if you are feeling brave) or even just share previously encountered questions.
Technology Today Topic: Quantum Computing
To wrap things up, a unique, fascinating intro to quantum computing! It may be the next revolution that supercharges our computing power. Take this keynote as a "full circle" moment and consider how quantum computing may influence AI/cloud by altering data centers, energy use, storage, etc.
