Seven weeks ago, I’ve launched the new version of my blog (which was a must-must-must-DO). I’ve added a new section to the blog called My Events Selection, where I suggest some events that I find interesting and that you should consider attending if you’re in the startup/digital world. Switzerland is that tiny that I don’t focus on a specific location (you can reach almost every place in 2 hours, you know it), so you’ll find events taking place in Zürich, Lausanne or Basel. But I also select international events happening in the major European startup hotspots. Moreover, I do my best to get discounts for you, my beloved, addicted readers ;-). So if you weren’t aware of this page, come visit it regularly!
Here are 5 events taking place in the next 2 months, that you should consider attending:
Überall App Day, Zürich, 30.04.2015: The 2nd Überall App Day Zürich will be an interesting mix, with some keynotes about strategies, tips and tricks, marketing, etc. Focused on mobile applications! Keynotes will be in German and English. You can get a 30% discount (!) if you use my specific code “PROMO10”. Secure your seat now!
Finance 2.0, Zürich, 05.05.2015: I’ve recently blogged about The Waking Up of Fintech in Switzerland (so if you’ve read it, you already know about this conference!). Experts will discuss the digital revolution and new requirements for the banking industry at «Finance 2.0». The conference is a must-attend for every CEO and manager of the finance industry involved in Strategy, Product, Marketing and Communication. The conference will be in English/German (70/30), and you can grab your 20% discount here with the following code: startupolic. I’ve also just discovered that the following day, the European Accelerator StartupBootcamp is organizing a Fastrack session in Zürich, where Fintech startup can apply to pitch!
SICTIC Investors Day, Lausanne, 11.05.2015: the 20th SICTIC Investor Day will take place at Debiopharm and will give the opportunity to discover 8 selected digital startups from Western Switzerland. These 8 startups will compete with a 90 seconds pitch and only 4 will have the chance to present their business in an extended manner (audience will select the 4 finalists). I have only one 20% discount code remaining: register with the code startupolicSICTICLAU
UX Lausanne, 04-05.06 2015: UX Lausanne is the first Western Switzerland event dedicated exclusively to User Experience Design & how to design delightful user experiences.
