From version 1.0: Gastón Verdier

Founder of IGV — a company working on technology integration —, Verdier was among the 100 people who participated in the I GeneXus Meeting.
Tell us about your relationship with GeneXus since its first version.

In January 1990, I started working for DeLarrobla&Asociados in a project at Banco Santander. Back then, the company traded in software development and the marketing of AS/400 and GeneXus.
I took part in numerous presentations to GeneXus customers — the famous invoice demonstration. Both the GeneXus technology and the high level of the presenters (Breogán Gonda and Nicolás Jodal) had a profound impact on people.

What are your memories of the I GeneXus Meeting?

At the time, DeLarrobla&Asociados and IBM were trying to convince ANCAP to buy GeneXus and use it to migrate their BULL applications to AS/400 and my job was to support ANCAP’s technicians in the process. I thought the Meeting was fantastic; the whole event lasted about 4 hours and the different talks were held in the same room.

Back then, it seemed incredible for a Uruguayan software company to have so many followers — over 100 people!

I still remember the final talk by Breogán with his memorable allegory about the pelican's flight.


You’ve attended the Meetings regularly. Why’s that? What has kept you coming during 20 years?

I’ve attended all the Meetings. You have to be there; it’s the most relevant technology event in the country. Besides meeting friends and colleagues, it's an ideal environment for business.

What are your expectations regarding the XX GeneXus Meeting?

Apart from the expectations that are renewed every year, this Meeting will be a special one for everyone — we will all be celebrating 20 Meetings.
