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. This year, the Gala and JavaOne were one week apart, and we made sure we could attend.

Last Friday, the Belgian news paper De Morgen published a two-page interview with Bruno Lowagie:

On Thursday July 27, iText and Inbatek were invited by ETDA in Thailand for a full day of talks and sessions about PDF and e-Invoicing.

On Tuesday July 25 and Wednesday July 26, we had a board meeting for iText Group NV and Thinkfree NV in South-Korea, more specifically in Pangyo Techo Valley:

For two days, we discussed the past, present, and future of the company's at Hancom HQ:

Last week, Wil-Low flew to Singapore for four three reasons. A board meeting for iText Group NV and Thinkfree NV, a visit to the new iText office, and going to the InnovFest Unbound event with a startups.be mission.

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.

Last week, we recuperated from a long trip through the US and Canada. We started in Austin Texas for SXSW; then we flew to California to attend Devoxx US in San Jose; finally, we had a two-day meeting in Toronto to discuss a new file format, for the time being referred to as "Next-generation PDF."

In March, we attended the very first edition of Devoxx US. We've been to the original Devoxx in Antwerp many times before, and we were curious about the first time Devoxx would take place in the Bay Area.

Last month, Wil-Low attended South by Southwest, better known as Southby or SXSW. SXSW is best known for its conference and festivals that celebrate the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries. The event, an essential destination for global professionals, features sessions, showcases, screenings, exhibitions, and a variety of networking opportunities.

After a manual test that increased the number of followers on a Twitter account with 18%, we wrote some code to automate that test. As a result, we now have a system in place that creates a steady increase of followers.
