The GeneXus Meeting is approaching with recipes for technological success: a special edition of the prestigious regional event

Only a few weeks are left before the GeneXus Meeting (September 29 to October 1; Montevideo, Uruguay), the regional event that will celebrate its 24th edition and gather over 3,500 attendees from about 30 countries. As usual in this event, over the course of 3 days the activities will include networking and sharing experiences in more than 150 sessions related to the world of business and global technology trends.
 
Why is the GeneXus Meeting relevant in various ways? The world today is constantly changing, and technology plays a key role in this evolution, especially the technology applied to mobile devices. In this context, we need new recipes for new realities. The worldwide GeneXus Community has formulas that have proven to be successful and will be showcased at the #GX24. The objective of this event is to offer the tools necessary to understand and be part of this evolution, sharing recipes that enable us all to succeed.
 
What are the ingredients of this revolution? One of the most evident facts that no longer makes headlines is that PC sales have dropped since 2007, the historical point in time when smart phones and tablets made their appearance. This caused a dramatic change in how systems were developed and brought the need to design new technology and business strategies or, at least, enhance web and PC systems with mobile features. “In this scenario, 2014 is the year when companies need to deliver mobile applications that can work in any environment”, said Nicolás Jodal, CEO of the international firm.
 
This event is the ideal opportunity to be at the forefront of technology and interact with experts. In addition to sessions and technology labs that make it possible to jump from theory to practice, another outstanding feature of this event is the possibility to help companies take a technological leap forward, promote startups and ideas or support business evolution with spaces where enthusiasm is combined with expertise, in personal meetings of experts and attendees.
 
Technological topics of interest to all sectors:
 
As usual at the #GX24, arrangements are being made for the attendance of high-profile representatives from Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle, among other leaders of the global software industry. The technological topics will address various sectors of society, ranging from finance to agriculture, education, and health. Below are some of the topics covered at the #GX24 that can be announced in advance while the final schedule is being created:
 

  • Lean startups
  • Big Data
  • Image recognition and augmented reality
  • The Internet of Things
  • "Appcessory" development
  • Mobile and web application design
  • Responsive design
  • Incremental development and the cloud
  • Multi-platform mobile applications
 
Of course, there will be many sessions focused on successful recipes using GeneXus X Evolution 3, the technology that enables the creation of extremely sophisticated applications for the web and mobile platforms, in online and offline mode. In addition, a closer look will be taken at new opportunities, both for companies and society in general, brought by smart devices and sensors.
 
For the technological and business community in the region, the #GX24 is a highly relevant event that can be attended for free by registering on its website: genexus.com/meeting, or watched via live streaming. The Meeting is a great opportunity for interaction, and for this reason Mr. Jodal calls on the region to participate: “We're strongly committed to the GeneXus Meetings and keep growing every year. Everyone is invited to see and share the work being done in these scenarios. Let's get ready for the future with new solutions, strategies and applications. Let's share recipes for successful technology and business development”.
