Its time for the final Fusion of 2023 and what a year its been!
Huge thanks to our headline sponsors for this year, Infobip. What a brilliant team! We've loved every minute of working with them, and hopefully they'll be joining the Fusion fun in 2024! 😉

Talks
Dealing with imposter syndrome, perfectionism & procrastination
This talk is a survival guide on how to cope when we feel intimidated by those around us and/or online who seem to have it all figured out. Imposter syndrome is a buzzword that is commonly misunderstood, we'll be delving into the 6 different ways it shows up, how it affects us, and building a toolkit to help us recognise and celebrate our wins.

Behind the curtains at "one of the most hostile networks in the world"
There’s a very good reason that the organisers of the Black Hat security conferences don’t use their host venues’ own infrastructure. In fact there are many: ethical hackers learning and testing their skills, not-so-ethical hackers looking for targets, and a lot of legal implications too. In this talk I’ll take you behind the scenes at the network and security operations centres for the conferences worldwide, to share more details, stories and plain-text credentials.

We've all seen the job title but what does a Staff Software Engineer do? In this talk I will reflect on how I became a Staff Software Engineer and the first 12 months in the role. I'll cover my own growth in the role as well as the organization's growth of the role around me.
