Why am I going back to Web Summit next week?

Next week I am very excited to be returning to Web Summit, this time at its new home Lisbon. It was awesome last year in Dublin and I am sure 2016 in Portugal will rock!

So why am I going?

1- The most important reason for my trip is to meet global tech investors and founders to chat about how they can invest and get their tech businesses funded in May 2017 at Business Rocks Festival in Manchester. We have investors flying into the BR summit from USA, Asia, UAE and Europe with funds in the billions ￡. Business Rocks is THE event in the UK to get your tech business funded from seed to ￡100m+.

2- The second reason I am going is to meet exhibitors from Web Summit who could benefit from exposure to 5000 tech, founders, developers, investors and global media from Business Rocks. Our exhibitor zones at #BR2017 include IOT, SAAS, VR, Startup, Smart Cities, Investor Connect, Ecommerce, Cloud / Hosting, Big Data and more...

3- The third reason I am going is for the awesome networking at the Night Summits! If you find me and tweet a piccy - the best picture selected by our head of marketing wins a VIP ticket to #BR2017 and a meeting with our soon to be announced headline speaker! You really don't want to miss this opportunity!

Get your business funded at #BR2017 in Manchester directly via investors or by winning the Innov8 Award.
