Joanne Gouaillier

Je suis tombée dans l'agilité il y a déjà pas mal d'années, sans en connaître le nom. Ce mindset, ainsi que ses valeurs et principes, sont pour moi cruciaux pour toute organisation, toute démarche, tout projet. Non pas que les méthodes liées à l'agilité soient toujours les + adaptées, mais ce mindset fondé sur l'humain, l'écoute, la co-construction, l'adaptation et la création de valeur est transposable à toutes les échelles. Je suis aujourd'hui coach pour les équipes agiles, et j'accompagne aussi l'individu et les organisations à se transformer.

Emanuele Meazzo

Emanuele Meazzo

I’m passionate about technology since childhood, from consumer electronics to enterprise hardware/software and everything in between.

Following this passion, I pursued an education focused on scientific and technical fields, becoming an IT Engineer at the end of my academic career.
I often spend my free time trying to learn something new and be up to date on the topics in my interest, allowing me to maintain and develop my skillset.

Thanks to study and international experiences with customers and employers (in USA, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, etc..) and mentors, I’ve developed a transversal knowledge that involves both the elements of an architecture and how to exploit it in order to give to the business the value that needs.

My strong suite is architecting data solutions, from relational DBs to AI applications: I like to know my tech stack from top to bottom, you can't ignore the hardware in the same way you can't ignore the business requirements.

On the job I usually find myself being the go-to guy that both senior and junior employees approach to tackle particularly tricky issues or asking for advice
I appreciate whenever this happens as I’m stimulated by new problems to solve and I enjoy sharing my knowledge to empower others

Passionné d'histoire, de culture agile, de jeux, de science fiction et de généalogie, j'aime m'inspirer de ce que j'observe et de mes rencontres.
Agiliste convaincu, je ne considère pas l'agilité comme une finalité, mais comme un levier pour révéler le potentiel d'une organisation. Mon rôle est donc d'accompagner les équipes dans leur quête d'efficacité, de collaboration ou de sens. Qu'il s'agisse de concevoir des produits, relever des défis organisationnels ou renforcer une dynamique collective, je m'engage à construire des solutions durables.

Alessandro Melchiori

Software craftsman, husband, father, ex-sportsman and inquiring reader. Since I was young I have loved taking apart and reassembling things to understand how they work. Now, this passion has become my job: the step from Lego® to software development was small.
Finding the best possible solution so that a complex system can work at its best and making it run smoothly are the goals of my work. C# and Azure make up my survival toolkit and help me cruise through distributed systems and enterprise solutions, with ease.
Be it a command or an event, I try to do my best in contributing to the life of the communities that have adopted me, trying to “give back” at least a part of what I have received over these years.

Please note that Sessionize is not responsible for the accuracy or validity of the data provided by speakers.

Most Active Speakers 2024

Every year, we put together a list of the most active speakers. This list features the top 3% of speakers who have participated in events using Sessionize during the 2024.

The 3% is calculated from the pool of all speakers that have at least one accepted session in year 2024. We don't include inactive speakers or speakers that had no accepted sessions during the year. There are around 38,000 unique accepted speakers this year, the 3% is 1036. Not all of them have their speaker profiles set as public, and we respect that, so the list doesn't show all of them.

The calculation is based on the number of accepted events, that's the main criteria, but to get more refined results we also look at things like multiple sessions per event, sharing a session with a co-speaker and how big the event is. Number of submissions and declined sessions don't affect the list.

Please note that the count of events and sessions in this list does not represent the number of events and sessions from the year 2024. Instead, it shows the number of events and sessions featured on the speaker's public speaker profile; these numbers have nothing to do with the award itself.
