Roundup of Texavi’s IMAGINEERING-INDIA, 2013 Conference

It’s with pride and happiness I wish to share with you that recently Team Texavi successfully hosted Texavi’s IMAGINEERING – INDIA, 2013 Conference. Held in two cities Hyderabad and Mumbai, during the last week of August, the events were a huge hit among the IT community.   The conference had a good participation from the practising and aspiring IT professionals who made it happen. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of delegates and speakers, the conference in both cities had turned out as a big hit among the community. I salute the untiring efforts of  Team Texavi in putting together such fantastic events which many people hoped to be held every year . In this blogpost, I give a snapshot of the conference for the benefit of those who could not attend and also for those who participated. Hope this would help you all understand the magic behind this memorable event called Texavi’s IMAGINEERING – INDIA, 2013 Conference.

What’s special with Texavi’s IMAGINEERING

If you ask me the formula for the successful hosting of Texavi’s IMAGINEERING – INDIA, 2013 conference, it’s the PEOPLE that made it happen. Yes, right from the word go, Team Texavi had put in their brain power at work and ensured that the right topics were selected to ensure maximum interests among the audience. Next to contribute majorly were the speakers who are industry-leading thinkers and professionals. These are not just people who talk, but who are thought-leaders and those who actually put their ideas to work. Bringing this unique set of people who are hands-on lent practicality and workmanship to the focus areas. Through the talks, panel discussions, interactive Q & A sessions, these speakers brought out the best for the benefit of participants. And last but not the least, the prize also goes to participants from different organisations who made it to the event, despite it being a Friday. They all took an active part in the proceedings of the event and needless to say contributed to the success of the conference.

What happened at IMAGINEERING 2013 Conference

The theme of the conference was very topical and relevant to the current times – “Technology trends, challenges and opportunities in the times of Digital. Mobile. Agile. Social“. The talks, special sessions, panel discussions and interactive sessions revolved around this topic with varied flavours. Ranging from the mundane Social media aspects to the raging hot theme of today’s technology world, Mobile platforms and applications, the conference had covered all the bases. The Keynote address by Dr. Rajeev Srinivasa rightly brought out the nuances and guidelines for embracing the good things around in Technology, highlighting the challenges involved. Dr. Srinivasa very eloquently touched upon the finer yet very practical aspects relevant for the IT community. A case in point is the importance of knowing the business aspects alongside the application of technology, for successfully delivering technology products and applications, today. Towards the end of the conference, everyone in the hall left with a firm belief that Technology and Business are two sides of the coin and that one can’t live without the other.

Interactive and engaging panel discussions

The keynote was followed by a very engaging panel discussion comprising some very competent and experienced professionals from the IT industry. The discussion for the panel was the topic “What’s the next BIG Thing”, which they ably covered sometimes hovering around, while other times diving deep into the key aspects. The panelists drew examples, business cases and insights from their own experiences to weigh in their points and delegates couldn’t have enough of the nectarine knowledge being shared with them. Sprinkled with generous doses of tips, tools, techniques and methodologies, the discussions threw light on important areas for the participants to take in all they could. The floor was opened for questions from the participants and it got so engaging that the session was brought to a halt by the time keepers.  

IMAGINEERING,2013 – A conference with a difference

Perhaps no other conference can boast of the unique feature that Texavi’s IMAGINEERING had – that of the focus on careers and professional development. Besides running as a deep undercurrent of all the items on the agenda, there were special sessions catered for the careers advancement and professional development of the IT community. Mukund Sathe’s engrossing talk on the IT industry’s trends and challenges struck the right chords with participants. Mukund’s talk was full of insights, ideas and recommended solutions and went beyond just highlighting the problems. Towards the end, participants with their questions and views made the talk even more insightful.  Not just that but also the careers talk from Texavi’s Niroop Racha was a huge hit among the audience. It started off as a solo talk but drawing audience’s participation, it slowly turned into a very engaging exercise. Delegates jumped in with their experiences, views and added the much needed “E flavour” to the conference. The E here stands for “Engagement” and “Entertainment” too, as it turned out that Texavi’s IMAGINEERING – INDIA, 2013 had no dearth of learning, sharing and fun.
