Food For Thought, why you have to be in Prague on the 3rd of September

If you are following my daily posts, you must have seen that we have been announcing experts from many trending tech verticals.

We have been organizing several yearly conferences which focus on compliance and innovation but have never gone out of our comfort zone when it comes to the niche. Once we launched PICANTE.today, we have seen that there is a need for quality tech conferences which focus on the quality of the content, rather than the high number of attendees.

We could name the conference as an anti-conference because we prioritize peer collaboration and overall guest experience above all else. This is what boutique-style means to us and we are bringing together only the best of the best to collaborate with and learn from. We are also topping the learning and networking with great and drinks to make PICANTE TECH Conference achieve what’s missing from other conferences.

Given our background of boutique events organizer, we decided that the series of conferences that will focus on Blockchain, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, VR/AR, CyberSecurity, Quantum Technology, IoT, AIoT and more, will have its starting point in Prague.

We are in love with Prague and have been going back yearly to host an annual event and now it is the starting station for a series of conferences for which we look forward to hosting all around Europe and beyond.

PICANTE TECH Conference Europe was born out of the idea of showcasing "hot" tech industries and discussing hot topics that are discussed daily by tech enthusiasts that are on the verge of creating their first start-up or have successfully built an SME and would like to know more about what is out there.

The conference series will debut on 3 September in Prague and we would like to invite you to join in and help us build this community which spreads ideas and discusses the real burning questions. If you have other plans, no worries, make sure to follow my profile of visit www.techconference.eu for the next stop which will be in the Baltics in May 2020 (more details coming soon).

As mentioned earlier, if you have followed our posts during the last two months, you already have an idea about who is attending the conference in Prague, or you are already in on the guest list.
