The good, the best, and the bad from day one of the Tech Fest at #ColombiaTechWeek 🚀
😊The good: the Personal Brand workshop by manuela villegas and Pedro Mejia + Produteka. Incredibly useful and practical — I wrote down everything. Weekend post incoming with the highlights + the resources they shared 🔥
🤩The best: the people. Incredible. I had zero pre-planned meetings and still ran into tons of people + got introduced to many more.
These are just the photos I remembered to take — there were at least 4x as many moments I didn’t capture, photos that didn’t turn out, or someone else took and they’re floating in the limbo of someone else’s phone (Carlos Ignacio Patiño-Florez Maria Camacho 👀). I didn’t stop talking, and I saw everyone doing the same — connecting everywhere.
😵💫The bad: the organization of the talks/workshops. There wasn’t enough space for that many people 😅, all workshops overbooked, the workshop space too small for its listed “capacity,” the talks on one stage started over an hour late, and at the other one I could never even get in. Missing Dan Macías’s workshop because of capacity really hurt.
The bad is tiny compared to everything else — next year I’m sure they’ll learn and fix it.
Incredibly high value. Nicolás Cruz Maria José Echeverri Andrés Bilbao Laura Marcela Forero — thank you for creating this and bringing so much fire 🔥 together in one place.
