Tech Week Humber founder Antonio Tombanane has reflected on the delight of bringing a full in-person event back to the city of Hull post-pandemic.
While the subject matter leant itself to being one of the most conventional to take online or become hybrid as Covid measures played out, the entrepreneur behind what has become a week-long celebratory festival, said it was nothing like the buzz of physical interaction.
Having fully absorbed all that happened earlier this month, Mr Tombanane said: “We were delighted to bring a full in-person event back to the city for 2022. During the pandemic we hosted both online and hybrid festivals but the value of seeing visitors coming through the doors of the events, networking, listening to talks from our fantastic speakers and experiencing innovations first hand is non-comparable.
