Brilliant minds
The Go To Silicon Valley Virtually 2020 is a virtual journey where you will discover the story of the italian brilliant minds working at Amazon, The Boring Company, VMware and other tech companies of the Silicon Valley. You will discover how they found a job in Silicon Valley and in the rest of the world after the Silicon Valley Study Tour, what they do and how they work.
A year-long virtual journey
This Journey will last for a whole year, and the best part is... it's completely free!
The first part of the live streaming conferences started on the 13th of May and ended in July 2020; more than 600 people listened to the conferences and did this virtual tour of the Silicon Valley. The second batch of conferences will start on the 29th of September 2020 up to the 11th of May 2021. A series of webinars will take place in partnership with Rinascita Digitale, where you will meet talented and motivated people that started as students - probably just like you - and ended up working in Silicon Valley, California!
You will be able to listen to their stories, ask questions in real time and most importantly be inspired to start your unique journey!
