Best Tech Events Calendar in Europe? Are there any good online resources or calendars listing all the upcoming European tech events? 🗓️ Too often, we must search and navigate many platforms to gather this scattered information. 💻 🌐 Wouldn't it be convenient to have a centralized, complete, and high-quality hub to explore all tech events in #Europe or the #DACH region, filterable and sortable by industries, regions, technologies, type, and cost? 🌍 Your suggestions and recommendations for such resources would be appreciated. #exhibition, #conference, #congress, #seminar, #fair, #tradeshow, #convention

Finished my first Multimodal Exhibition and here are my 3 biggest takeaways... 1. You really can't beat in-person communication. Zoom and Teams are ideal for remote calls, but there's something about connecting face-to-face that can't be replicated online. I feel this now more than ever. 2. Everybody (and I mean everybody) is talking about the role of technology in this industry. It's no longer just the outliers and tech platforms. It came up in every conversation I had, in some shape or form. I think some of the tech is ahead of the industry, though. There's a gap to close. 3. Some interesting companies coming to market with solutions to customs formalities. It's still fragmented, but when someone cracks this nut, it will be huge.

Managing event photos manually can be a challenge. Both if you have to send photos to delegates and speakers, or if #eventprofs have to search for themselves across hundreds of photos and pages manually. Northstar Travel Group instead made it simple for its teams and speakers at the latest The Meetings Show, with facial recognition and thousands of photos delivered to #eventprofs during the events. Do you struggle with event photography? Let's discuss why in 50+ countries #eventprofs use getpica.com to make life better for their guests and themselves.

🌟 Yesterday we attended the official welcome reception from the Government, hosted in the context of the #MobileWorldCongress2024. Now a global technological capital, this event underscores the relevance of Catalonia's innovation ecosystem within the industry. What started as an event focused on phones has now transcended into a forum for the broader #connectivity sector, with applications that extend into industries such as the #automotive. 📑 President Aragonès underscored Catalonia's contributions to the digital landscape, making substantial investments in technology and a growing startup scene. He praised the region's renowned universities and research institutions, which have fostered a culture of excellence and innovation, and we are proud to be a part of. 🌍 Catalonia's ambition is to continue contributing to global progress and prosperity, addressing pressing issues such as climate change and advocating for democracy and human rights. With the Mobile World Congress serving as a catalyst for this purpose, Catalonia stands as one of the world's leading technology hubs, providing an unparalleled environment for innovation and collaboration. 🚀 As usual, we're honoured to be part of this occasion and look forward to keep connecting with leaders at the heart of Catalonia's tech ecosystem to continue pushing the limits. 

Tech expos: Are they still a powerhouse for fostering real-world connections? And what about Mobile World Congress (#MWC2024)? 💬 Beyond numbers, this year's MWC was a lively convergence! A surge in participants, strong global representation, and the return of international visitors created an electrifying atmosphere. Attendee engagement spoke volumes about the event's success. So my take: fairs are more than just networking; it's about real connections, idea exchange, and meaningful discussions. The post-registration buzz from eager individuals and organizations reflects the enduring value of tech expos. Personally, I firmly believe in the importance of having a space for gathering in person. There's something irreplaceable about face-to-face interactions that virtual events can't quite capture. Count me in for the next one! #TechExpos #Networking #InnovationHub #MWC

Architecture Modernization: Most relevant topic for todays aspiring tech organisations. It's not only a job of architects, it requires socio-technical alignment in an organisation to meet its north star. To learn on this topic highly recommend "Architecture Modernization" book by Nick Tune 🇺🇦

#High5club - or: Throwback Hannover Fair’24, part 2   It was a pleasure to meet so many interested people at the #HMI24, proud and motivated members, as well as engaged association partners and of course, potential new partners! I’d really like the spirit of the fair and the content related discussions we got: From #DigitalTwin to #Shopfloor to company specific challenges and how we face those challenges together!   Cause this is an important aspect of digitalization: Nobody can do this alone. You need to include your ecosystem partners and – even more important: Your staff! No transformation w/o motivated and engaged people. Always keep in mind: Transformation is done by people, not by a company. Therefore, it is required to provide a base for open discussions and reflecting your challenges in an open-minded round of specialized people.   #bettertogether is not just a buzzword – it’s the clear foundation, required to be successful on the road to #Industry40.   Last but not least: You may ask “What’s that bike idea and why your booth was equipped w/ so many bike parts?” Simple explanation: Using a bike as example, enables almost everybody to understand the composition of material and process, leading to a valuable end customer product – and fulfil certain requirements, like the Digital Product Passport #DPP and Carbon Footprint #PCF. It’s easier to have a common ground for discussion, instead of requiring highly specialized domain knowledge. The bike is a great way to explain and tackle the challenges together.   And yes - we’re proud to celebrate the 5.th anniversary of our great alliance: Great members, great people and challenging topics! All we need to face challenges together and pushing #digitalization forward! Thanks to all supporters, to all the engaged people, to all the great ideas and projects we’re going to realize!

Planning for Techweek NZ 2024 20-26 May has started already. The Tech Solutions Expo last year was an experiment that went pretty well. Want it again this year? Duncan Ashenhurst has some questions - Are you interested in a stall? Likely 12-4:30pm on Thu 23 May - What type of attendee do you want to attract? - If there were 20 minute seminar slots available, what topic would you speak on? - Would you join a 40-60 minute Q&A Panel discussion? Please contact Duncan direct with your feedback (positive or negative: its all useful data). This will help us decide if its a good idea to run the Tech Solutions Expo again this year. #techweek #techsolutions #expo #salesopportunity

A fair week has passed since the KickStart Europe event. Thank you to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Stijn Grove for once again organizing a fantastic event. KickStart has definitely solidified its place as one of the leading industry events in Europe. But what did this year's event offer? There were truly excellent panels and discussions. Unfortunately, in the afternoon, there were four different tracks, so many interesting topics were left unseen. One main observation and gratitude must be given to some of the panel moderators who truly challenged and engaged the speakers. This clearly led to discussions that went beyond the usual rhetoric. There was much discussion about the current state and future of data center capacity and construction. Surprisingly, AI was mentioned relatively little in discussions. It occurred to me that perhaps the immense change AI is bringing to data center capacities from a FLAP-D perspective wasn't fully grasped, and where the greatest future lies in terms of construction. In CBRE's materials, Finland was somewhat excluded from the growing data center markets across Europe. However, in the AI panel, every speaker listed the Nordic countries, particularly Finland, as the top choice for building. This exclusion has sparked discussion, at least here in Finland. Hopefully, it will be addressed for next year's event. When considering why, here are a few figures that I believe can be compared anywhere in the world. Currently, there is nearly 1000 MW of data center capacity under construction in the Helsinki area alone. When considering the entire Finland, we're talking about capacity close to 2000 MW. I'm sure that with these numpers we can compete with all areas nowdays. Even after these numbers, we still have significantly more capacity, so I believe these figures will grow substantially in the coming years. Next event for me should be Datacloud Global Congress 2024 in Cannes Granlund #datacenters #FDCA #Granlund #kickstarteurope Kickstart Europe Conference
