Full Circle: Welcoming the CDTM Summer 2026 Class!

Full Circle: Welcoming the CDTM Summer 2026 Class!

It feels like just yesterday I was walking into Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) in Valencia as a new student in the winter cohort. Today, things come full circle as we kick off day 1 of the intensive training trip for our brand-new Summer 2026 class!
We’ve officially checked in and wasted no time diving into an action-packed bootcamp designed to introduce them to the fast-paced CDTM universe through express hackathons, concept pitches, and deep-dives.

How day 1 is unfolding:
💡 I had the privilege of running an introductory workshop on Design Thinking to get everyone into a problem-solving mindset right out of the gate.
🛠️ Tudor Duca, Maider Gasca, and Sergio Pérez Gallego put together an incredible express hackathon, throwing the newbies straight into the fire to prepare them for the intensity of Trend Research.
⭕ Tonight, we are hosting an open-circle session where several of our amazing Alumni will sit down with the incoming class to share their raw experiences, lessons learned, and insider tips.

The energy here is unmatched. There is nothing quite like watching a room full of brilliant minds come together to form a high-performing community in a matter of hours.
To the Summer 2026 cohort: Welcome to the family. Roll up your sleeves, because this is where the magic happens! 💻✨
