What is STACH 2014?

The very concept of "strike" implies the termination of work. So it was decided to use the so-called “glitch effect” in the conference style. There is such a thing for IT people - when a system crashes and the whole schedule breaks down into components, a person cannot continue working with a computer. So, the organizers offer us to present the entire IT sphere, which they will divide into several colors, corresponding to the conference sections - digital communications, technical section, mobile development, e-commerce, management, IT and the state, start-ups.

Thom Kennon, a senior strategist, co-director of Brabble and a marketing and branding instructor at New York University, will be the headliner of the digital communications section.

The participation of Russian speakers from Yandex, Bitrix, World of Tanks, Microsoft, PostgreSQL Europe, ivi.ru, ScrumTrek, oub, Aviasales, Express 42, Ruward, Russian DigitalGames, RedMadRobot, Tagline, Brand Mobile, Actis, Articul Media, Red Keds, Creative People, Grape, etc.

In general, in two days 100 speakers will speak at the conference venues and more than 150 presentations will be given. And do not forget about the well-known afterparty Strike, where you will find the mass of invaluable backstage communication with the best specialists in IT.

And do not forget to put the official hashtag #nastachku
