In the last week of March, we once again welcomed IT experts from various fields. They opened up hot topics in today's information technology, such as cybersecurity, the use of artificial intelligence, IT project management, and more.
The very first lecture by Kamil Juřík captured the audience’s attention on the stage and the projection screen—not only because he was dressed as Darth Vader from Star Wars, but mainly due to the topic of SharePoint. As we learned, even this platform has its own "Dark Side of the Force," which, however, can be overcome with proper configuration and an understanding of how it works. Tomáš Rosa then presented cryptographic mechanisms of today and the near future, discussing their chances (and how likely) they are to withstand quantum computers—all with his signature humor.
After the break, instead of Vlado Iliushin, it was Vladimír Ráb who captivated conference attendees with his talk on IT nightmares. He focused on the "vulnerabilities" observed last year as well as those that have appeared so far in 2025. It was a creative contribution to the conference theme, which continued with another presentation. In it, Roman Nedzelský focused on errors in IT projects. He expanded the topic into a talk packed with examples of IT projects from around the world that failed specifically due to mistakes, uncovering their root causes during his lecture and suggesting ways to prevent them.
After lunch, we welcomed Susanne Bitter to the stage. Her international experience—especially from the UK—demonstrated how often overlooked, yet crucial, well-structured critical business management is, particularly in times when companies increasingly rely on artificial intelligence. With her unique energy, she supported her talk with several practical examples from abroad. Jiří Szewieczek and Tomáš Ptáček also focused on AI, but from the perspective of expert users. They showed that it is indeed possible—and how—to chat with your data.
The conference concluded with a gripping presentation by Daniel Hejda, who explored the use of artificial intelligence from a hacker’s point of view. He demonstrated that while AI can be a major threat in their hands, their reliance on it may also provide an opportunity to identify and counter their attacks.
Audience reactions during the presentations, the questions that followed, and the discussions during breaks clearly showed that we once again succeeded in bringing together experts with strong insight into their fields, who delivered engaging and up-to-date topics.
On behalf of the OKškolení team, we thank everyone who attended in person or followed the event online for their interest and active participation. The observations and feedback from all participants continue to inspire us to search for new topics and speakers and to prepare for next year’s edition of the conference.
