Techorama was an incredible experience, filled with unforgettable conference days that were both enlightening and exhilarating. The opportunity to mingle with like-minded individuals and technical experts who shared similar passions made the event exceptionally special. One of the standout moments was the early bird session on disaster recovery, expertly presented by Derek Martin. His insights were invaluable, and his dedication was evident, right from the early alarm in the morning to his detailed explanations.
Throughout the conference, one theme consistently captured my attention: Artificial Intelligence. Jeff Prosise’s session was particularly memorable, leaving a lasting impression that had me eagerly exploring his remarkable work. His innovative approach to integrating SQL with augmented generation was truly groundbreaking. He introduced his own term, SAG (SQL Augmented Generation), which undoubtedly deserves recognition as a significant concept in the AI lexicon. This unique perspective opened up a plethora of new possibilities in the field of AI and generated text.
Another session that stood out for its creativity and unique approach was presented by Jean-Paul van der Ham and Dian van Heijningen from Wigo4It. Their less technical but equally impactful session involved planning strategies with an unusual twist – involving Maki, a monkey. This imaginative concept provided a fresh perspective on managing projects without traditional leadership, focusing instead on aligned autonomy. Their insights on how to effectively utilize a ‘tech’ radar were enlightening, adding another layer of depth to the conference’s diverse offerings.
It was also fascinating to delve into the intricacies of Large Language Models, a topic that resonated deeply with my interests. Overall, Techorama was an amazing journey through the realms of AI, disaster recovery, and networking. The added excitement of winning prizes only enhanced the experience. As I look back on these incredible days, I am filled with gratitude and anticipation. I eagerly await Techorama 2024 in FUN FAIR EDITION, ready to immerse myself once again in this vibrant community of technology enthusiasts and pioneers.
