+Innovation isn't about getting it right. It's about getting it less wrong, over
+and over, until something works.
+
+Ajuna Kyaruzi will share about the failures that shaped her career journey. The
+ones she hid from, the ones she learned from, and why the shame of falling
+behind was always more dangerous than the failure itself. You'll leave with
+skills that turn "fail fast" from a platitude into a practice: empathy,
+community, and perseverance.
+
+You're building and learning quickly in this new world of agentic workflows.
+Some of it won't work. That's okay, it's better that you tried.
