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

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.
