In recent years, I have had great experience participating in international conferences as speaker, as part of a technical committee, organization committee, session chair, publicity chair and even general chair.
Here is a brief summary on them over the years years, starting with conference in which I have participated as speaker, following those in which I have been part of their organization with followed-up Latvian conferences, including several of international level. The conferences where my co-authored papers were presented by co-authors are not included here.
