Luca Fregoso

Head of Content & Presales, Codemotion · Developer Relations

I design technical programs people trust.

I started from the community, built a software company, ran an enterprise business unit. Today I lead content for the biggest tech community in Italy, and not just there.

15 years shipping software, the last six designing the programs around them. At Codemotion I turn ~600 talk submissions per edition into agendas the community trusts, across Milan, Madrid and Rome. Engineers, sales teams and speakers get the same straight answer from me.

Work

I am the glue between tech, business and community. Code, sales rooms, conference stages and classrooms. Call it DevRel, developer programs, presales or program management, the job is the same: getting worlds that don't speak the same language to ship one thing together.

The network behind the programs

Years of conferences and communities built me a network that answers the phone: speakers, committee members, organizers, partner companies from startups to enterprises. When a program needs the right person in the room, I know who to call.

    Co-organizer & mentor at ‘Learning Reimagined’, the Albert School × Codemotion hackathon

    Albert School · Milan

    One afternoon, Lovable, and a brief from an Italian university: build something that helps students or teachers learn better. Mentors pick five finalists — then the other teams vote, because the question is whether AI helps us learn or gets in the way.
