Meet Jasna Rok, fashion tech pioneer
Fancy hearing an engaging talk in a unique location? Then be sure to come to De Hoorn on Wednesday, 15 November, at the heart of the renovated Vaartkom centre in Leuven. Feel free to bring along another person with a passion for IT.
At 7 pm, keynote speaker Jasna Rok, developer of innovative and conceptual ideas in fashion, technology and science, will start her talk.
During this interactive evening, experts from various IT teams, as well as recent starters and trainees, will be happy to share their career stories and experiences with you. Will you be our next ‘Woman in IT’?
Why register for this unique event?
Jasna is an award-winning pioneer who interactively combines innovative fashion with state-of-the-art technology. She founded the first fashion-tech design lab in Belgium and works with leading companies and technology partners such as NASA. She will immerse you in the evolving role of fashion in the digital age and how it serves as an interface for wearable technology, artificial intelligence and sustainable design practices.
Explore with her how integrating emotional intelligence into wearable technology and fashion helps build stronger connections, promotes positive mental health and boosts happiness in our rapidly changing world.
Topics that go perfectly with KBC. So you should definitely take this opportunity to get to know her.
A passionate team of some 2500 IT colleagues in Belgium and Central and Eastern Europe spend every day working on digital and technological innovations, often based on data and artificial intelligence, such as KBC Mobile, Kate and the Kate Coin.
Connecting people and thereby ensuring that they develop their talents further is very important to us at KBC. That's why we have set up many initiatives in our company to encourage that. KBC ensures that all employees keep up with the latest trends through inspiration days, innovathons and hackathons. But we also use initiatives such as ‘womentoring’ and woman walks to help ensure that each person is able to develop their talents further based on their own personality and vulnerability.
At this event, we will be delighted to put you in touch with recent starters and trainees from our IT and Innovation Department, who are eager to share their career stories and experiences with you.
'De Hoorn' is located at the heart of the revamped Vaartkom centre in Leuven and is easily accessible.
Last year, I had the pleasure of attending ‘Think about IT’. Thanks to the opportunity to network with other ‘women in tech’, I was able to apply for a traineeship at KBC.
