Meet founders from all over Europe in Barcelona: Startup Grind Tech Conference 2020

The fourth edition of the Startup Grind Tech Conference in Barcelona will take place on May 13th, 2020. The spirit of this annual event mirrors the energy and friendliness of Startup Grind’s monthly meetups, but on a larger scale. Join over 1,000 entrepreneurs, investors and tech enthusiasts from all over Europe at a full-day conference with lots of great talks and networking sessions. 

We attend the Startup Grind Tech Conference because we love the vibe. And who doesn’t need an annual boost of inspiration from business personalities who don’t mind sharing their deep knowledge about the entrepreneurial world?

But why should you attend this year’s conference?

Listen to startup founders share their secrets

In previous years, companies that everyone has heard of, including Shazam, N26, Couchsurfing and Revolut have made an appearance at the Startup Grind Conference. The speakers from these companies weren’t afraid to share their business insight, whether it came to their biggest triumphs or their most expensive mistakes.

In 2020, the conference will welcome a diverse lineup of speakers from different industries. Among them, Derek Andersen (CEO at Startup Grind and Bevy), Malin Holmberg (Partner at Target Global), Miguel Andrés (CTO at Badi), Jorge Gómez Sancha (Co-founder at TinyBird) and Daniela Goicoechea (CMO and Founder at Goiko Grill) will talk about their businesses in terms of technology, growth, hiring, sales, marketing and everything in between. 

So you might be wondering, who is the conference for?

Well, even though it’s called a tech conference, it’s not for developers. It’s a meeting point for founders of technology companies, investors and future entrepreneurs looking to learn more about the industry. The goal of the conference is to bridge the gap between business and technology.

A great chance to make new friends in the startup world

Startup Grind is the most active community of entrepreneurs in Barcelona. You can expect to have a lot of fun and meet a bunch of like-minded people who are very passionate about the startup business. 

Every attendee is invited to a networking party following the event. This is where you’ll have the chance to start building lasting relationships. Some of those relationships might turn into clients, business partners or even good friends. Either way, you’re guaranteed to have a blast.

And, if networking is not your strong suit, you can look at this conference as a chance to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself to mingle with new people. If you’re trying to get your business off the ground, you’re going to need some practice in building relationships. Not to mention that there will be investors there. 

Everything else you need to know

The Startup Grind Conference will take place in two iconic venues: Antiga Fàbrica Estrella Damm and Auditori Axa.

The old Estrella Damm beer factory will host the exclusive opening party on the eve of the conference (May 12th). Only the first 300 people to buy tickets get to go!
