AI SUMMITS, STELLAR CAREER ADVICE, & SEAMLESS DEPLOYMENT
The concept of information gatekeeping is all but dead - and we’re making sure of it!
We are recommiting - in words, deeds, and guides - to the spirit of responsibility towards our community and to the overarching goal of making the field of technology more inclusive, accessible, and equitable.?
‘How can I enter the tech job market?’ ‘How can I kickstart a career in AI?’ You asked, we listened.?
For the past couple of years, Synapse’s AI experts have been compiling an exclusive and exhaustive manual with some of the most sought-after answers pertaining to careers in AI, globally and locally. This month, techQualia finally launched Egypt’s ultimate guide to careers in AI, offering holistic, comprehensive manuals to every possible job in the field of AI.?
We also blew the minds of thousands of attendees at three AI summits we attended this month, but we’ll pat ourselves on the back in a minute.?
In this issue, aside from taking you through the Social Scientists, Data Scientists, Consultants, Software Engineers, and Business Developers’ guides to careers in AI, we also give you the rundown of GITEX Global and the Middle East Enterprise AI & Analytics Summit, before revealing to? you the venue and main partner for our upcoming AI x ART event: The Techqualia Gallery!?

This month, we prove our commitment to the pledge against gatekeeping with not one, not two, not even three but five career guides (!) taking your hand and walking you through the nooks and crannies of the vast and endless field that is AI.
The guides below were written specifically for you by our team across the different departments at Synapse. In them, you will find valuable information on how to break into the field of AI, from the kind of educational background required to the exact characteristics of successful candidates.

SYNAPSERS IN DUBAI: THE PHOTO ALBUM?
Our Synapsers geared up for #Techtober and absolutely killed it!?
Last month, we showcased our product suite in three different events in Dubai.?
We’d walk you through the whole deal, but you had to be there for it. For now, we’ll shine some light on our superstars, Nourhan Khaled and Galal Elbeshbishy, who delivered talks that sent hundreds of experts into a fascination frenzy!
Our own Nourhan Khaled was, as you’ve all already seen on LinkedIn and Twitter, the first woman speaker on the DevSlam stage. (We can’t believe we’re still saying “first woman” re: anything, but here we are, infinitely proud of Nourhan). Nourhan talked (and used!) some very cool tools such as GitOps, Kuberneres, and Flux. GITEX Global? truly didn’t know what hit them.?
Speaking of superstars, our Co-Founder and COO, the one and only Galal Elbeshbishy, delivered an exceptional talk at the Middle East Enterprise AI & Analytics Summit and shared his experience in deploying 30+ AI projects within the last 5 years since Synapse started.?
