Former Conferences & Talks

What would a great Startupnight be without great speakers.

We changed the concept of our conference and integrated it into the night. Like a real festival we will have next to our exhibition and main stage action deep dive talks around AI, blockchain, IoT and many other topics in a way no one has done it so far.

Learn for the first time about buzz topics. Don’t be shy to check out topics you have never heard of or always wanted to learn more about.
