The brief

WOMEN IN TECH Global gathered 500 international delegates at the Cape Town International Convention Centre — a global conversation about where technology is taking us, and what it still asks of us as humans. The keynote needed to speak credibly to a technical, international audience without losing the human core.

What Carina delivered

  • 01A keynote delivered fresh off Carina's own deep dive into tech: building a marketplace platform through AI-assisted development with no formal coding background — proof, not theory, on that stage.
  • 02The core truths of 'The Art of Turning the Tide' applied to a technological age: what we hold onto, what we unlearn, how we negotiate with fear, and why breakthrough rarely waits for perfect conditions.
  • 03The 'one more stroke' principle, brought to life for a room navigating constant technological change.
  • 04A live flute performance that turned the keynote's themes into an experience the room was still filming when it ended.

What happened

The feedback was overwhelming — many delegates called it the best talk they had ever heard, and the conversations continued long after the session. The moment travelled too: posts about the keynote went viral on LinkedIn, carrying the themes far beyond the room, across industries and countries.
