PROIDEA Foundation for Supporting IT Education was founded in 2004 as a response to the growing demand for organizations sharing ICT knowledge. Since the early beginning PROIDEA implements its statutory goals, not only through diversified training activities (we have among other status of the Cisco Academy), but also by organizations of specialized, national and international conferences and workshops.
With satisfaction we can conclude that our previous projects ended in great success and became motivation to create a new department of PROIDEA Foundation, which organizess the external conferences for commercial customers. We believe that our seven years of experience backed up by organizing almost 50 Polish and international conferences attended by over 15,000 participants will provide services at the highest level.In November, we finished another conference season. It’s a good moment to summarize what we have managed to achieve during this year and think about our plans for 2012.
In 2011 PROIDEA Foundation team managed to successfully complete its annual projects. Two editions of PLNOG – a conference concerning networks, gathered even more attendees than last year. What’s more, during autumn edition, for the first time, we organized EuroNOG (European Network Operators’ Group) – a conference for all European implementing companies and operators, where we managed to gather over 150 attendees. We are aware of the fact that gaining more and more qualifications, meeting people and exchanging experience are the most important factors for our attendees, that’s why we are planning to continue our projects in the coming year of 2012. 8th edition of PLNOG will be held on 5-6 March 2012 in Warsaw, next EuroNOG will be held in September 2012.
Without a doubt, we have to mention our CONFidence conference in May which this year took place in extraordinary surroundings of historic water pumping station in Krakow Bielany. As always, CONFidence had many world-class IT security specialists who came to share their knowledge and experience. We haven’t forgotten about developers, to whom we dedicated to events – JDD (two-day, renowned conference created for Java developers and 4Developers – professional, one-day conference divided into 4 independent paths concerning technologies and issues which we can observe in modern software-producing companies.
In 2011 we started organizing events for external clients. For the second time for Allegro Group, we organized the biggest Polish conference on e-commerce. New face of e-nnovation conference gathered in Poznan over 700 attendees, including e-commerce celebrities. Amongst speakers we got Don Dodge, Jeff Tylor or Eric Ly. What is more, we managed to organize few smaller projects for companies like Cisco and Fortinet.
Focusing on plans for 2012 – we are even more motivated to satisfy expectations of IT industry, we want to continue our ongoing events. Additionally, we decided to broaden our area of activity and focus a little bit more on new technologies – that’s why we are organizing first Startup Weekend Krakow, which will be held on 20-22 January 2012.
We are glad, that conferences organized by PROIDEA Foundation are very popular in IT industry in Poland. That is why we want to continuously develop our event calendar, also with external orders. Every time, we focus on professional presentations and efficient organization. Knowing IT industry’s needs, and having many years of experience, we believe that we can provide you with top quality services.
