These are exciting times. Once I decided to get back in business, life became a rollercoaster. A meetup group with more than 320 members, speaking on Frank Watching next week, now I’m invited to moderate a panel on the UTTR AI & Chatbot Conference in London on Oct 3th. How cool is all that?

Below you’ll find the press release. In the mean time, I keep on working on getting this website back on track and up to speed. Apologies for the hickups you may encounter but trust they will be fixed!

On Wednesday 31th, we’ll organize our very very very first Chatbot meetup. This time in AMSTERDAM. I’m very please to meet new people and see old faces. Remember the good old days AND look forward to a VERY exciting future!

Chatbots.org is a worldwide community platform. Great!!!! Working with the best people all over the world. How amazing is that?

Drawback is that it is not necessary at all to meet each other in real life, even though you really have the desire to meet those individuals!

Well, it took 4 years before I could meet our Poland based team member Karolina Kuligowska.

And it was a real pleasure. Thank you so much for guiding me around Karolina! And lots of success with working with local companies as well (beside all the work you do for Chatbots.org ! ).

Dave, you’re next on my wish list !! And my ultimate dream is to have the whole team together during our yearly conferences….
