Wozniak in Malta at an event<br />

five year anniversary.<br />
GiG’s annual employee conference, ‘Gigsters<br />
Connect’, will take place on 6 & 7 March for all<br />
650 GiG employees - including over 200 who<br />
will travel from Spain, Denmark and Norway<br />
to join their Malta based colleagues. As well<br />
as meetings, hackathons, parties and learning<br />
opportunities, there will be a ‘fireside chat’<br />
and open audience Q&A with Woz. Attendees<br />
will hear about Apple's humble beginnings<br />
and how Woz revolutionized the status quo<br />
by inventing the impossible.<br />

employees and 400 members of Maltese tech<br />
community.<br />
GiG’s CEO Robin Reed: “There are many<br />
people in Malta, including at GiG, who work<br />
in highly specialist technology roles. We<br />
couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate<br />
five successful years of our company than<br />
by giving our employees and 400 of the<br />
Maltese tech community the opportunity to<br />
be inspired by Woz, a pioneer of technology.”<br />
Engineering genius Steve Wozniak founded<br />
Apple Inc. with Steve Jobs. As a pioneer of<br />
the personal computer revolution, Steve<br />
Wozniak single-handedly built the first Apple<br />
computer prototype.<br />
GiG has an exciting growth story, having just<br />
