📍 Shymkent Hub

Speaker: Arina Podafa, Human Resource Director

Arina will talk about how to maintain energy, motivation and engagement at work without reaching burnout. We will discuss the balance between results and personal resources, the signs of emotional exhaustion and simple practices that help you stay stable and resilient.

The event will be useful for everyone who works at an intensive pace, wants to better understand their resources and learn how to take care of themselves without losing efficiency.

Want to get into IT but don't know where to start? Join an online meeting with Amira — a Product Manager at Documentolog and a graduate of Tech Orda.

🎤 About the speaker:  Amira — Product Manager at Documentolog (one of the leaders in the IT market of Kazakhstan).
- Ranked in the Top 5 students among 104 participants in the Tech Orda cohort.
- Won three Tech Orda grants after passing a rigorous selection process among 1000+ candidates.
- Received her first job offer even before completing her studies.

💡 What we will discuss:
- How to enter IT without experience and choose your direction.
- How to successfully pass the selection and win a Tech Orda grant.
- Life hacks: how to get a job offer while still studying.
- What a Product Manager actually does in an IT company.
- Personal checklist: the path from marketing to product at Documentolog.

According to the Astana Hub report on the development of Kazakhstan's digital ecosystem, one of the key challenges of digital transformation remains the fragmentation of processes and data.

A company may have CRM, ERP, task trackers, and dozens of digital services, but this does not guarantee manageability: data remains scattered, and employees continue to work in mail and messengers.

Managers are spending more and more time on manual control. Unfortunately, there is no single picture of what is happening.

At the webinar, we will analyze why this happens and how to build an end-to-end process contour that combines documents, tasks, projects and approvals into a single system.

Let's discuss it:

• why the implementation of individual IT systems does not always lead to increased efficiency;
• how to keep the company manageable in the face of growth and increasing complexity of processes;
• what mistakes do companies make when digitizing;
• what does a single digital contour look like and what management effects does it have?
• how it is implemented in practice based on Directum QAZ.

The webinar will be useful for managers, CTO's, COOS, project managers, and anyone responsible for digital transformation and business process efficiency.

We invite you to take part in the workshop "Content generation via Google Vids", dedicated to modern tools for creating video content based on artificial intelligence.The workshop will be held in a practical format, so we ask participants to bring a laptop with them to complete tasks and work with the tool in real time.

, An open online meetup "Live demo: An AI agent for development in 40 minutes"

AI accelerates development not by itself, but when an engineer has a system for working with it.
Hard&Soft Skills is an ed–tech company with courses for senior engineers and architects (Tech Lead, Solution Architect, AI-Driven Development).

At an open meeting, we'll show this system in action: in 40 minutes, we'll assemble an autonomous agent on the MCP live and run the feature through the full cycle – from requirement to product, using the agents' hands, not our own.

This is not a "game with AI", but a working picture for Middle+/Senior engineers: where agents have bottlenecks, how to get around them, and where AI strengthens you.

, What will happen at the meetup

• Full live feature cycle: requirement → design → plan → review → front and back → deployment. One person, without a code with their hands.

• How to train an agent on the fly: custom skills and MCP for your stack.

• Three rakes of AI development - the context, the task statement, the docking of large blocks – and how to circumvent them.

• Where is the engineer's profile heading and where is your leverage here in the age of AI.

• Live analysis of questions – we answer them all.

• Presentation of the AI-Driven Development course: Level 1.

, Speakers

• Sergey Golubev is a Technical Product Manager with 16+ years in IT. For the last 3 years, he has been implementing AI in development processes and building agent systems.

• Pavel Veynik – architect, ex-Architect Miro, ex-EPAM. In development since 2003, he has held 100+ meetings and conferences.

, Who will benefit from it

• Middle+/Senior engineers who want to systematically accelerate with AI, rather than using disparate techniques.

• For those who have already tried agents, but are stuck in the context, tokens and chaos from repositories.

• Team leaders who need a common agent language for the entire team.

🗓 July 7, 2026, 21:00 (Astana) / 19:00 (GMT+3)

Kolesa Product Design Meetup will be held in Almaty on July 9

The topic of the meeting is real cases from the practice of product teams: what is behind strong design solutions and process automation, what results they bring and what conclusions can be applied in their work.

What we will discuss:

Design beyond interfaces: how we improved CX on Kolesa Conf

Sasha Evgrafova, Product Designer at Kolesa Group

Let's look at how to design a user experience not only in digital products, but also in an offline environment. Using the example of Kolesa Conf, we will show which solutions helped make the participants' journey more convenient and improve the quality of interaction with the event.

DesignOps on Steroids: Automating processes in Figma

Diaz Tuleubai, Design System Lead, Bank CenterCredit

Let's talk about how automation helps design teams work faster and more efficiently. We'll talk about practices and tools: review, file structure, localization, and handoff, which reduce routine, help maintain order in layouts, and scale processes.

Panel discussion: "The Book of complaints: analyzing the problems of designers"

We will analyze working cases, questions and pains — we will discuss them together with experienced specialists. Without slides and prepared answers: only real situations from the audience, professional disputes, different points of view and the search for solutions live.

Invited guests:

-Vladislav Gusev, Product Designer, Kolesa Group

-Azhar Kultasova, International Head of Product Design, ex OpenTable (Booking.com ), BBC News

-Victor Krivenky, Head of Design, Bank CenterCredit

-Roman Iminov, Product Design Lead, Kolesa Group

We will be glad to see you at the Kolesa Product Design Meetup!⚡️

On July 15, Kolesa Online Analytics Meetup will be held online

You can't fool Holdout: why a successful test is not a victory yet

At the meeting, we will analyze the real case of the full life cycle of the experiment — from the hypothesis and the successful statistical test to the rollout of the feature to the entire audience. Let's tell you how a month later the holdout group showed that the feature would have to be rolled back.

Speaker: Kamila Bishenova, Data Analyst, Kolesa Group.
