About us
Since 2016
Amidst the many gatherings during Slush.org, 1XO was born from a simple idea—to bring something special to this unique event week with great music and unforgettable moments. Since 2016, it has welcomed 3,745 remarkable individuals from diverse fields, creating space for real connections and meaningful conversations. Martin Talvari has been leading 1XO from the start, drawing from his experience expanding Slush.org globally and founding Myriad, a tech festival in Australia with a similar mission. After years of touring the world across more than 80 countries, his journey naturally led to the creation of Bindarys.com
Team
Martin has a unique ability to foster conversations at the highest level around innovation, with an eye for not only growing his conferences, but also raising the profile of the host countries. I have seen this in effect on three continents. He is a master at convening people and building excitement around technology themes and emerging locales.
