Save the date, June 9th, 2018, 9am to 2pm, at the Renaissance Convention Center and organizers made it super affordable so there is no excuse for not showing up. And bring the students in your life along, they only pay Awg 50.
As in three previous editions, the event is organized by Mark Benson Denz, Infinity Media, only this year he teamed up with Diederik Kemmerling, from the Lab, considered Aruba’s supreme social media marketing guru. With main sponsors such as Aruba Bank and Digicel we are guaranteed an excellent program for the day.
Aruba Bank will be available to talk to local start-ups and e-commerce clients about their plans during the seminar.
For the 2018 seminar three excellent international speakers agreed to grace us with their presence Microsoft’s Miri Rodriguez, a Storyteller & Social Media Manager, Mario Vinasco, Marketing Manager Data Analytics of UBER, who will also talk about the topic du jour AI, Artificial intrelligfence, and Andrea Vahl, famous for writing a simplistic tell-all guide to the mysteries of social media. Vahl is a bit of a stand up comic, so prepare to be entertained, but she drives her message home, as one of the most prominent women in social media.
Three presentations by local talents will round up the menu of speakers. Stefan Oostervall will disuss cryptocurrencies, systems which promise to decentralized the control of banks, Diederik Kemmerling who will share best pracytices and reveal facts and figures about the use of social media in Aruba, and a representative of Digicel, who will speak about making our homes smarter, and our lives consequently easier, with the latest technology.
