Our conference schedule

It’s a rather esoteric collection of events

Our conference schedule is quite diverse, and we do not hit each of these events every year – and we do add new ones every year when the opportunity arises. The following is our usual conference schedule, which will will give you an idea of the breadth of our coverage:

At the start of the year:

• the CyberSecurity Forum in Lille, France

• the Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany

• Barcelona Spain for the mobile technology granddaddy, the Mobile World Congress

Then later in the year my two favorites:

• the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy

• Cannes Lions (which is for the advertising and media industry but where I have learned the most about the impact of technology, the visualization of data, creativity, and how to create a high level of quality storytelling)

We tend to the year at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Depending on our time and schedule we also cover:

• CES in Las Vegas, Nevada

• the Digital Investigations Conference in Zurich, Switzerland

• BlackHat / DEFCON in Las Vegas, Nevada

• RSA Cyber Security Conference in San Francisco, California

And sandwiched in throughout the year members of my team will manage several AI/machine learning workshops.

Yes, I am an opsimath at heart but I think everything in technology is related and that schedule provides us perspective and a holistic tech education. Call it my personal “Theory of Everything”.

Invariably one can expect a major tech story (or two or three) to drop in from the sky which causes your schedule to go askew. But as usual: these conferences always seems to have some brilliant sources for analyzing the story-of-the-day, no matter what it is.
