What do we expect from a speaker?
We expect that speakers will present new concepts and new ideas, not available from any other source, and that they will present those ideas in fun, engaging ways.
What do we offer to a speaker?
As DataFest Tbilisi is a community event, we cannot afford to offer a speaking fee. In limited cases, we can offer covering travel & lodging expenses for international speakers. And in all cases, we offer lots of fun, engaging audience, supportive team and unforgettable memories from the event!
What is DataFest Tbilisi?
DataFest Tbilisi is the first annual event of this kind in the region, bringing together hundreds of attendees from media, CSO, business, and government to inspire, share knowledge, network and collaborate. While it attracts the attention of Western partners to the region as the untapped potential of tech innovation, it also strengthens the local community and creates a regional network around data, technology and innovation.
It is organized by ForSet - a creative enterprise specializing in data visualization.
