A Successful Talent Land ’23 for LPI and Partners

2023 July 05 - By Max Roveri

Talent Land is a major annual tech event held in Mexico. This year, the event boasted an impressive number of registered attendees, with 40,379 individuals from all over the world. There were 873 speakers, 642 talks, and 161 workshops spanning various tracks such as Blockchain Land, Business Land, Gamer Land, Health Land, Creative Land, Developer Land (where our booth was located), Travel Land, and Food Land. A track was devoted to women.

We are thrilled to report that our attendance at this year’s Talent Land was a great success! We would like to extend our gratitude to conference organizer Talent-Network, Linux Professional Institute (LPI) Partner Asociación Mexicana del Internet de las Cosas IOT México, and all the attendees who made this event an amazing experience.

Packed to the rafters!

During the Linux Essentials Workshop, we had 38 students in attendance, exceeding the classroom capacity of 30. Our partner, Asociación IOT México, ensured that the workshop was a success, spreading the voice in advance and inviting attendees to join the workshop, and we could not have done it without their help.

The bravest

Although not everyone took the exam, we had a bunch of candidates, including those from our training partner Ralken Consulting and from Bosch, and seven Talent Land attendees.

A great venue…

Talent Land provided us with a nice booth, conveniently located near the main stage. This location proved to be a great spot: We are thankful for this opportunity that made it possible to interact with a large percentage of Talent Land’s attendees.

We are pleased to report that we found the event very successful, with more and more candidates expected to take our exams in the coming years.

… for a great success altogether

We want to thank Talent Land and all the attendees who made it possible to hold such a successful event. It was a fantastic experience, and we look forward to future collaborations with Talent Land and other organizations.
