TUMO CENTER TO HOST HIVE ENGINEERING SUMMIT AND A MEETINGS WITH SERJ TANKIAN
YEREVAN, April 3. / ARKA /. The day after the centennial of the
Armenian Genocide, on April 25, two parallel events celebrating
technology and Armenian music will take place at Tumo, with the
participation of board members Raffi Krikorian and Serj Tankian, and
other industry experts.
The HIVE engineering leadership summit, sponsored by the Hovnanian
Foundation, will include Tumo board member and former Twitter VP Raffi
Krikorian, Reddit founder and Executive Chair Alexis Ohanian and other
industry experts as speakers.
The event will bring together software engineers and programmers for
talks, an interactive workshop and chance to have one-on-one
networking meetings with speakers to share experiences between world
renowned technology leaders and local experts.
On the same day, a Musical Town Hall Meeting will also take place with
System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian as the lead panelist. Composer
Tigran Mansuryan and other notable musicians will also participate in
a town hall meeting where leading artists and composers will discuss
new approaches to Armenian music following the Centennial.
The panelists will play representative tracks as discussion starters,
and participants will have a chance to ask questions around the theme
of music as a reflection of Armenian identity.
Participants in both events will have a chance to mingle during a
common lunch, fostering the kind of interaction between art and
technology that is one of the hallmarks of the Tumo program.
In 2013, with the assistance from the Central Bank of Armenia Tumo
opened a branch in Dilijan, and plans to open another one in Nagorno
Karabakh Republic.. – 0-
