I was having my beer after a hard day working on our privacy-related product when I saw some info on one of the social media that Geecon will be coming to Prague again this year.
201*
That brought back tons of memories from my past. My first Geecon was in the early 2010s in Krakow when I was part of the crew booth with ZeroTurnaround.
I didn’t have time to attend any talks because I needed to collect marketing leads. Blah!
I also enjoyed talking to my old good friend Josette Garcia from O’Reilly, whom I had known long before Geecon. What a great surprise it was to see her there as well.
The city was also excellent.
2014
Then, my mind brought me to 2014 when I connected Adrian Nowak, the main organizer, with some local folks, companies, and user groups for the first-ever Geecon in Prague.
He made it possible for @bruceeckel to meet my teams at Infor (at this point), which was a blast! Yes, we talked about #kotlin 🙂
2023
I contacted the team after the CfP was closed to check if I could present my talk about fun at work. I was surprised by the positive answer.
I am in Cerny most for the event a few weeks after that. I was positively surprised by the professionalism of the crew. I am visiting Geecon as an attendee/speaker for the first time, and the experience was smooth.
Start with the coffee and munchies to the entire room for speakers and the super-luxury main conference room. Geecon is the first event where the talks finish on time. 🙂
I met a lot of peers and friends with whom I lost track of through the years.
I was last active in the JVM space some 7-8 years ago, and listening to all the improvements and ideas was excellent and educational.
I talked about life with awesome people like @guyroyse, @jonathanvila, Rustam Mehmandarov, and many others who accepted into their company a person (me) who is not in the JVM universe anymore.
If you are looking for reasons to visit or to contribute to Geecon next time, take my word – you will not regret it!
