TECHunplugged : a new challenge

February 22, 2017

FacebookTwitter

Today you may have catched an announcement on the TECHunplugged website stating that I am joining forces with Arjan Timmerman and Jane Rimmer as a co-organizator of the TECHunplugged conference series.

As you know, the TECHunplugged conference was started a few years ago by my friend Enrico Signoretti and he was joined later on by Arjan Timmerman, also a very good friend from the community. Enrico had put me in the confidence before joining OpenIO and I recall us discussing our respective aims while we last met in London. I was surprised to be contacted by my friend Arjan to ask me if I would be willing to join TECHunplugged and help him continue this adventure.

I accepted with joy and gratefulness, but also with a deep sense of responsibility. Responsibility because I count Enrico not only as a friend but also as a sort of mentor, one of the individuals in our community who has been the most inspirational to me, not only because of his knowledge but also and mainly because he’s a visionary. His professionalism and rigorously critical approach of the enterprise IT world proved to be for me not only an inspiration, but also a challenge to provide quality & well-thought content, where one should not only stop to provide a description of facts, but also to give their opinion.

While Enrico is moving to a fantastic career opportunity at OpenIO, our goal with Arjan is to continue making TECHunplugged events the way they have been made, i.e. events entered on the interaction between end-users, influencers and sponsors. A community where every participant can share and enrich the others with their experience.

We have already prepared four dates in 2017 and we are already signing-up sponsors. We have also opened registrations for the London event on 18-May-17. We have also relaunched techunplugged.io and we invite you to visit our new site and find out more about the upcoming events! Also, I should mention that the wonderful Jane Rimmer will help us make TECHunplugged a continued success.

To finish this post, I acknowledge the breadth of this challenge and I hope that I’ll be able to live up to the (enormous) expectations. Big thanks to Arjan for having me at TECHunplugged, a big thanks to Enrico for being inspirational and best of luck with the new gig at OpenIO. And you’re welcome to join us anytime at TECHunplugged!

If you don’t already, make also sure to follow TECHunplugged on Twitter as well as on Facebook.
