“I am more than honored to be given the chance to work as the co-chair for TechMentor,” said Sami, “I have always told everyone that TechMentor is my absolute favorite conference because of its intimacy, and even more for its commitment to serve valuable content that is useful instantly in real life work. I want to keep the intimacy and lack of marketing slides and make the conference even more entertaining by using my contacts and knowhow to get the best speakers and topics in.”

“We’re really excited to bring Sami on-board as TechMentor co-chair.  With him comes a broad and deep experience in speaking and chairing conferences worldwide,” Greg adds, “He’s a well-known and well-respected industry luminary who will bring a fresh perspective on driving TechMentor’s future.  More importantly, he’s a great guy.  I think our TechMentor attendees will really enjoy getting to know him.”
