TechCrunch UK and Ireland will be hosting a
TechCrunch Talk event in Barcelona on
Thursday 19th of February,
3pm-6.30pm followed by drinks and networking in
conjunction with the GSM Mobile World Congress.
Venue in Barcelona will be announced at
the beginning of February 2009.
The Barcelona TechCrunch Talk is aimed at bringing
together the mobile 2.0 startup and VC
community to debate the next phase of the mobile
startup world. It will feature two quick-fire panel discussions
with the hottest entrepreneurs and investors selected for their
leading views on the market, and with topics focused around the
following themes:
- What will be the trends over the coming year?
- What are VC’s looking for?
- Can the power of the operators really be disrupted?
- What value can be created in the mobile world in
difficult times?
The panel discussions will be followed by casual
networking over drinks.
What is it?
TechCrunchTalk is a TechCrunch curated
discussion get-together for start-ups in the UK and Europe,
which focuses on a number of current and relevant themes for the
technology start-up community. Its
aim is to generate debate and a voice for the technology
start-up community, to identify trends, themes, issues,
challenges and developments within the community, the industry
and the local vs. European environment.
It kicks off with an afternoon of discussing
a pre-determined set of themes, with Mike Butcher, the editor of
TechCrunch UK initiating and moderating the discussions, and
finishes off with some drinks and informal networking, with more
participants invited to party.
