What you need to know about IT Future Conf 2022

This is a two-day online conference in the IT field for anyone who wants to learn more about IT education and top graduate institutions. Lviv IT Cluster organizes everything. The speakers of the conference are the leading representatives of the industry who know the prospects that pave the way for the industry and the secrets of building a successful career in IT.

What professions will be relevant in the future

The world is changing rapidly, according to Volodymyr Dovhanyk, Head of Business Analytics at Intellias. Let’s say 15 years ago people used data discs and now all this happens in electronic format. We no longer need to buy movie discs because we have Netflix and Megogo.

We see that the future has changed the most under the influence of technology. These are an important factor influencing the running of the business. It is the technology that determines the methods of obtaining information,
– said Dovganyk.

He predicted that it would become popular in the near future:

• Artificial intelligence. Its use will increase, deepen and influence our choices on the Internet – shopping, movie selection, college and more.
• They are wearable. The development and further use of wearables – devices that help pay for purchases, as well as what is worn on the body.
• Satellite technology. Satellites will be used even more actively, Starlink has already appeared in Ukraine.
• autonomous vehicles. The development of autonomous vehicles, for example, the delivery of goods by drones from Amazon.
• NFT and areas of creativity.
• augmented reality. It can be used in design and visualization.

Dovganyk explained that the existing professions are likely to change and will be relevant in the future. Among these professions:

• Medicine – new diagnostic methods, methods of communication with the patient. The medical profession will change – some tasks will be transferred to artificial intelligence.
• finance – Automation will continue in this area. There are already many products that can automate accounting services. There may not be accountants in the future.
• Trucking, trucking and shipping – the transition from real people, drivers to autonomous transport.

This gives rise to new professions that now seem strangely futuristic. For example, a robotic psychologist or space tourism specialist. But we are not ready for that now.

Tips for future professionals

Volodymyr Dovhanyk emphasized that people who want to receive education in the future should be ready for change. It is worth investing time and money in education, especially in technology.

“The choice of educational institution is important. It helps you acquire fundamental knowledge that will be useful in the future. Always consider university theorists and practitioners together. There should and should be people who can give you solid theoretical knowledge. Be practitioners who will prepare you until your first day of work,” explained Dovganyk.

What to choose: courses, self-education or university

According to the lecturer, all these types of knowledge and education have different purposes. For example, a university creates a system and a system of thought, but you may also have subjects that will be boring.

Courses close certain niches. This is a good option if you need to retrain or learn something. Self-education is not an alternative to universities and courses. This is an option that you need to practice constantly.

As a professional, you need to be more interested in your knowledge than college, which you can then sell or make money with. Neither the university, nor the teacher, nor the teacher can do anything to you if you don’t want to,
– stressed Volodymyr Dovhanyk.

Available occupations

• Entrepreneurs, product managers and business analysts – implement technologies, determine how to use new technologies and monetize them.
• UI / UX designers – test the usability of technologies.
• Information and digital security engineers – conducting tests, checking whether the technology / product meets the standards.
