Bogdan Maran

Bogdan is a former photojournalist and data storyteller. He has built custom platforms for event professionals, done a lot of data visualization, and a lot of integrations.

Nowadays, he's focused on Visual Hive, working on a data driven AI marketing engine for marketers and events, working with data science around visual content, like photos and videos.  

He just tested the alpha version of this concept, got some good feedback and now he's working hard to take Visual Hive to the next level.

That doesn't prevent him from sharing his technical knowledge and expertise with the event industry, and that's exactly why Bogdan decided to host Ctrl+Alt+Event.

Merijn van Buuren

Merijn is a tech enthausiast by heart. No wonder he has been a DJ since he was 10 and ended up helping event professionals transition to virtual and hybrid events during the pandemic.

He's on a mission to help the event industry embrace technology to it's fullest potential, and therefore created a platform called Event Mender that helps eventprofs find the right event technology for their event goals, needs, and challenges.

Working with over 100 event tech providers, 1000 event professionals, and event types ranging from 100% in-person to 100% virtual and everything in between, he realized he was in a unique position to educate the event industry. 

When Bogdan reached out it was a matter of seconds for him to join Ctrl + Alt + Event where he is now sharing his findings, knowledge, and insights with you.
