iText didn't have any talk at JavaOne this year. That was the first time since 2013! We submitted some great topics though, among others a cool talk about Blockchain. Many of the people visiting our booth were very curious about what iText is doing in the context of Blockchain, and were surprised when they learned about the Blockchain mechanisms we have patented. Ah well, another event will get the scoop.

In 2014, we won the BelCham Entrepreneurship Award in the category "Most Promising Company of the Year." Last year, we couldn't attend the Annual BelCham Gala, because it took place at the same moment as JavaOne where Bruno was a speaker.

For the second year in a row, we were present at the Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS) in Bangalore. This year, GIDS celebrated its tenth anniversary.
