The CloudBrew community conference in Belgium is always great! Happy to go back there to speak this year. It is a two-day event hosted by the Belgium Microsoft Azure User Group AZUG.

The event takes place in Mechelen, Belgium, on Thursday and Friday December 12 – 13, 2024.

Hope to see you there!

My session is about lessons learned from using public cloud in public sector scenarios. There are so many things to talk about on this topic that one day even would not be enough, let alone one session. However, I will cover some of the major topics and challenges in this area. I think it is quite important to discuss the hardships and difficulties openly and honestly so that we as an industry can approach synergy in terms of handling the situation and have forward (upward) progress to the cloud for this sector.

Time for the Action AI Conference in Delhi, October 18. I will be there and be part of the keynote and panels. It will be so good to be back in India with good friends doing what I love the most – delivering good technical content to learners of all ages and experience levels.

I want YOU ;) to come to India with me for AI conference!

Game on for another edition of the amazing ESPC conference, this time in Stockholm on December 2 – 5, 2024!

ESPC is always a great show and Stockholm will be true to form. I love my capital city which will be all made up in Christmas shroud welcoming a couple of thousand attendees, speakers, and sponsors.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! <3

It is my great pleasure to serve as programme chair for the conference along side my good friend Maarten Ekels, and with the incredible Luise Freese, Paolo Pialorsi, and Merethe Stave. Together we have had the painful pleasure of selecting a super-star lineup of speakers and sessions, while of course also needing to say no to many more great submissions. We could have made three ESPCs with all the smashing sessions submitted. After the difficult selection process we came up with something truly special for ESPC 2024, and we hope and trust you will enjoy it!

My own session will be about application centric observability in the cloud where I will be talking about how to view all the resources, compute, paas services, and more that make up your application as ONE thing that you can observe and measure as a unit.

I am so excited to go to Guatemala to speak at the Microsoft Experience Day. Event Web site is https://med.gt/.

“El Microsoft Experience Day regresó para presentar las últimas innovaciones de la industria tecnológica” => “Microsoft Experience Day returned to showcase the latest innovations in the tech industry”.

Together with my good friend Oscar Garcia Colon from Allied Global.

I will talk about “Responsibilidad, transparencia y manejo de otros aspectos éticos dela IA” which means accountability, transparency, and handling of other ethical aspects of AI.

I wish I would be able to deliver this in Spanish, but alas – I will be speaking in English.

It is going to be great to see the Central American tech scene when visiting the country. It is my first visit to Guatemala and it will be quite special to see the country guided by local amazing people.

Looking forward to speak at Swetugg Gothenburg 2024 (2024-09-16 - -17) on “Lessons learned from public sector cloud implementations”!

My talk, more of a conversation really, is about about the specific challenges on the cloudy road for Public Sector Sweden! How is Public Sector going about reaching for those cloud promises; Agile/fast, secure, compliant, and pay-per-use. Same as anyone Public Sector also wants to use modern AI services which are all in the cloud. No cloud, no AI!

Among the challenges associated with adopting a cloud approach are governance, managing partner and supplier relationships, ensuring security and compliance, transitioning skills, planning for change, and developing a proper strategy. My session is a run-down of the bold steps that will set you on a straighter path directly to the cloud!

I am so proud to know the great community enthusiasts of the Swetugg Team. They organise some of the best technical conferences in Sweden, and they are themselves some of the best technical speakers in Sweden. This is how you create great community conferences with a wonderful experience for both speakers and of course the audience. You have speakers organise them! Speakers know what it takes and have a wide range of experiences from many different conferences. So when you see a bunch of speakers organise a conference – that’s a conference you will want to attend, because you just _know_ it is going to be great!
