We have been organizing events since 2003, and since the beginning, we have been guided by three fundamental values: content, community, and dialogue. We organize vertical conferences with internationally renowned speakers to create moments of encounter, discussion, and growth among community members, where everyone can feel at ease.
Since the beginning, we have had a code of conduct. We pay close attention to accessibility in all its forms. Thanks to the fund to increase diversity and inclusion, we can offer scholarships for our conferences.
Upcoming events
All our conferences are hybrid: you can attend in presence or online. Participation to in-person events is subject to current regulations. As GrUSP, we are committed to clarifying and updating the rules to be respected to ensure anyone’s safety.

Why do we use joind.in for feedback?
To receive feedback we decided to use and support joind.in: an open source platform that allows us to publish the program of events and to associate the various slots to each speaker.
We use this tool because we supported its growth and development at an early stage and we strongly believe in the value of constructive feedback.
Feedback via joind.in avoids the form of anonymity because they aim to be sincere and constructive: when a comment is expressed directly, we pay more attention to how it is exposed and the purpose with which it is expressed. Generally, the feedback is more detailed and precise and allows you to better analyze and understand the context and the situation.
Giving feedback anonymously does not allow us as organizer or all speakers to improve as they are very often very superficial and not very concrete, so they often become meaningless.
Finally, having a public list of feedback that each speaker can share is very important for us to thank for taking the time to take part to our conference.
