My digital appointment - an event that fed my head and my heart

I've been a project manager at Parkour3 for 4 years now. It's the longest professional chapter I've chosen to write - and that's no accident. One of the many reasons why I feel so at home here is the clarity and transparency of the company's objectives, including the importance attached to ongoing training and participation in events related to our field.

It was in this spirit that my colleague Jolyane and I were lucky enough to take part in this year's Rendez-vous numérique event, and today I've decided to share my experience with you.

Rendez-vous numérique: 2025 edition

First of all, what is the Rendez-vous numérique?

• What: Rendez-vous numérique - a gathering of over 1,000 professionals around more than 70 conferences and activities.
• When: April 08 to 10, 2025
• Where: Port of Québec Cruise Terminal

Before going on about my experience, I'd like to highlight the work behind this event. We had the chance to speak with a member of the event's board of directors, who told us that this edition had been organized in less than a year. And yet, nothing suggested such a short timeframe; every element seemed thought through and carefully executed. Hats off to the whole team behind RDV numérique - as participants, we were more than spoiled, both intellectually and socially.

What I bring with me: between intellectual and social baggage

In terms of intellectual baggage, I was impressed by the diversity of conference formats on offer: inspiring lectures, dynamic panels, and more immersive activities. Presentations were available to pick up, and speakers made themselves available after their presentation for any questions or conversations.

Between the information shared during the conferences, the documents shared and my notes, I'm more than equipped to bring back relevant information to Parkour3 with the aim of always improving and creating possible links.

Beyond the content, there's also the social baggage. This kind of event is also a unique opportunity for professional encounters. Everything was designed to facilitate exchanges:

• use of the Swapcard application to facilitate contact
• joint arrangements for meals and breaks to create additional opportunities for exchange
• organization of 5 à 7s to bring participants together and make it more comfortable to forge new links
• choice of décor including long tables to encourage people to mingle (it was at these long tables that we made the most interesting and relevant professional encounters for Parkour3).

All these elements simply enriched my experience.

In a nutshell

I came away from this Rendez-vous numérique impressed by the quality of the organization and the richness of the content. I was able to participate in my company's objectives, while living a new and enriching experience.

For the next edition, I want to be more daring with the accessibility of speakers and initiate more discussions to provoke surprising encounters. In short, I'm already looking forward to my next experience!
