Alberto Acerbis

Alberto Acerbis

I am a lifelong learner, driven by the endless nature of technology. While I primarily define myself as a backend developer, I’m not afraid to explore the frontend when needed. For me, software development is about solving business problems and delivering value to customers, where Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns play a crucial role. I work as a software engineer at Intré, a company that shares this philosophy. As an introvert, stepping into the spotlight doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’m passionate about stepping outside my comfort zone to share what I’ve learned and continuously grow. I’m active in the tech community, contributing where I can, and co-founded the DDD Open and Polenta and Deploy communities. I’m also an active member of Blazor Developer Italiani and other groups. Additionally, I am an Microsoft MVP, a Azure Solution Architect and Azure IoT Developer.

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.
