Conferences

In recent years, I have had a great experience participating in international conferences as speaker (including the role of a keynote speaker, panelist), as part of a technical committee, organizing committee, session chair, workshop chair, publicity chair, and even a general chair.

Here is a brief summary on them over the years years, starting with conferences 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.
