At the event organised by Yıldız Technical University's Academic and Cultural Events Committee, memory techniques were explained. The presentation by Abdulkadir Özbek, General Coordinator of Personnel Development Academy (PDA) and career consultant, was followed with interest by Yıldız Technical University's academic staff and students.

The conference opened with a body percussion performance by Erdem GENÇ, founder of the team-building training and entertainment company M3 Works, who had been invited to the university as PDA's guest.

Taking the stage after Erdem Genç, memory techniques expert Abdulkadir Özbek shared tips with the audience on having a “STRONG MEMORY”. Sharing his knowledge and experience with the Yıldız community on many topics that affect memory, from the basic foods that contribute to a strong memory to sleep, from psychological factors and conditioning to television-watching habits, Özbek made some important remarks. Likening the right and left halves of the human brain to a bird's wings, Özbek compared using the numerical, information-storing right part of the brain together with the left part, associated with imagination and emotional intelligence, to a bird trying to fly with two wings or with one. Also touching on television-watching habits and frequency, Abdülkadir Özbek said that someone who watches films for 2 hours non-stop a day would need to do brain exercises for a week for their brain to return to the state it was in before watching that film.
