The quality of talks was always of critical importance to us. On GICâ21, outstanding presentations, for the first time, were honored with The Best Speaker Award.
The best lecturers will be rewarded with âeternal gloryâ and 1000 euros each.
At GIC’23, we have again decided to award the Best Talk Award! Just like the first time – the awards were based on the best evaluations of the audience, and then by selection of our Advisory Board. This year it took a lot of work to select the winner, which shows the increasingly high level of speakers at our conference. This year’s sponsor of the 2023 Best Speaker Awards is AMD!
