A DIFFERENT FORMAT FOR BARCELONA
As the first InfraX in Barcelona, we are keeping the programme deliberately open. Alongside a voice from the sector, we have invited speakers from outside it, bringing perspectives that infrastructure can learn from, and perhaps teach in return.
And because the art of presenting is also the art of making people listen, we are treating you to 30 minutes of stand-up comedy between the talks and the open networking. A lighter atmosphere, a few good laughs, and a great way to get the room talking.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Reuben Barker, Architect / Director at EstraHub (London, England) Evelina Petrova, Director of Teacher's Qualification Department at Spark Network (Sofia, Bulgaria) Bill Conry, Professional Speaker & Facilitator at Corporate Charisma
One keynote spot is still open. Want to share your ideas or get inspired? Get in touch.
