REGISTER INTEREST IN ATTENDING

01 — The Pitch Session

20 pre-selected startups and scale-ups each deliver a focused 10-minute pitch to a curated room of investors, VCs, PE funds and strategic buyers. No filler. Every company on the stage is actively raising.

02 — Pre-Arranged 1-2-1 Meetings

Using our proven online meeting planner, attendees book meetings two weeks before the event. Arrive with a full schedule. Leave with relationships that matter.

03 — Professional Services Roundtables

A select group of legal, financial, technical and strategic advisors host informal roundtables and hold dedicated meeting spaces throughout the day — the right support infrastructure in the room, not on the sidelines.

This event is unique — it's the only one that we have in North America that really covers this industry. For us this is one of the places we can connect with the right types of customers, right type of people within the value chain that we don't find anywhere else."
