It’s with strange feelings that I re-read my 2006 post about my entrance in Gabetti. It’s been an interesting and formative experience (and if you’re not new to this blog you should know) which took me from digital signage to Second Life, from management tecniques to virtual servers projects.

A couple of panels in IT conferences

Posted on 23/03/2010 by admin

As Spring starts in Italy, conference season fires its engines. I’ve been involved in a couple of panels in the forthcoming weeks.

On Thursday, March 25th the fine guys at IDC have been so kind to invite me to join their “Virtualization & Cloud Computing Conference 2010” in the “IT on demand” panel; the conference is free for non IT companies; you should subscribe here.

I’ll be on another panel at the Business International organized “Unified Communication and Collaboration” Conference, that’s going to be held on April 22nd: “From dedicated social networks to workflows“; if you subscribe before March 26th the ticket costs 600 €.

I love public speaking, but I’m really mad for panels! They give you the chance for a real conversation (instead of a one way only speech) and I do love express my opinions especially if the contradict what’s just been said by others: I think this is the best way to entertain the public. On the subject I suggest you to read the Guy Kawasaki post “How to kick butt on a panel“.
