Speck & Tech is the digital community of Trentino. Founded on March 1st, 2016 by a group of youngsters, who some people would define nerds or geeks, it was then officially registered as an “Associazione Culturale” on April 18th, 2017. Since its birth, Speck & Tech has always had an ambitious and precise goal, that is to create a community of people, even very different from each other, united by a passion for technology and innovation, who want to exchange ideas and knowledge about these and related topics.How? Mainly through monthly events - over 80 in recent years - which resemble the typical meetups of large American and European cities: two talks of about half an hour on the same theme, generally in English, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A and a convivial part of networking, where the participants discuss together with the speakers and the other Speckers, eat speck (the famous local cold cuts) and drink a few beers.Towards the end of 2020, both to keep our audience engaged and to explore new horizons, Speck & Tech also launched a podcast: it was an experiment, which received good feedback and helped the Association overcome the challenging period of the Covid-19 pandemic. From October 2021, after over a year and a half without events in attendance and thanks to the entry of fresh forces into the Association and the contribution of new volunteers, Speck & Tech has returned to organize its monthly meetups, as well as a series of new initiatives.
