The event is family-friendly, so feel free to bring your loved ones<strong> (kids up to 4y old have free admission)</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Why attend? Recharge. Renew. Reflect. Reboot.</strong></h2><p>For many high-achieving software engineers and developers, burnout is becoming an all too familiar foe. With exhaustion, cynicism, reducing productivity - recovery can take months or even years to fully recover from the effects of occupational burnout. <strong>According to research on this issue, 58% of software development professionals are suffering through i</strong>t right now making it essential for organizations to find ways to counteract its harmful impact.</p><blockquote><strong>Give your body the boost it needs to stay healthy</strong> and energized by strengthening and fortifying your immune system. <strong>Manage stress while you restore balance, vitality, passion, and purpose in life - as well as enhance cognitive function for sharper thinking</strong>!

<p>A heavy computer is not what most people prioritize when fleeing their homes. As a result, most refugee families no longer have <strong>access to computers, and thousands of kids are not able to continue their primary education</strong>.</p>

<p>Ukrainians have always played a large role in our Tech conferences communities. They are our colleagues, partners, friends, and part of our conference <strong>families</strong>. </p>

<p>As tech companies sharing knowledge, our goal is to provide these families with computers.</p>

<p>These enable children to attend school and adults to stay in contact with their loved ones, look for jobs or follow the news in their language. We who are always connected, know the importance of staying connected during the worst moments of our lives ❤️</p>

<p><strong>100% of donations</strong> will be sent to <strong>IWAV</strong>, an <a href="https://www.iwavilnius.com/" target="_blank" ><strong><u>International Women Organization in Vilnius </u></strong></a>Lithuanian-based charity, which will help us to distribute computers for those in need.</p>
