Today’s interview differs from the previous ones through its main subject: ITCamp conference, represented by Mihai Tataran, who cofounded it along with Tudor Damian. Let’s start by introducing our guest: ITCamp conference 2012 “is a premium confe¬rence for specialists in Microsoft technologies”. In the hosts vision, the conference gets its premium from the speakers, ”the best speakers we can bring [..] extremely well-known people, which at top world class conferences like TechEd or PDC, constantly rank among the Top 10 rated speakers, based on audience feedback grades, and we have four of them this year”. The Microsoft technologies focus comes from this desire to invite only the best, Microsoft being the place where the two founders share the most connections and experience, allowing them optimum access, “If we were to spread out on several areas [technologies] it would prove more difficult to achieve this”.
