The questions you’re afraid to ask. The answers you need to hear.

This brutally honest, no-holds-barred panel tackles the real questions that don’t get asked in polite professional settings. Through anonymous app-based submissions, attendees ask what they really want to know—and a panel of seasoned leaders gives unfiltered, authentic answers. No corporate speak. No sanitized responses. Just truth.

The moderator curates the spiciest, most-asked, and most-needed questions in real-time, creating an electric atmosphere where vulnerability meets wisdom. Panelists draw from their own failures, hard-won lessons, and unvarnished truths about what it really takes to succeed and stay sane in tech.
