Learning from success– The Tech Startup Meetup
Event Info
Description
Free Networking & Keynote Speech Event
Despite being in economic hardship since the fall of the big banks in 2008, times have never looked so good for start-ups and online businesses. People are spending more time and money on websites and apps with the internet proving to be the greatest launchpad for innovative ideas.
We will be bringing together some big success stories of start-ups that achieved monumental growth and success within a matter of years. The Digital Pond will be inviting them to share their secrets of success, and how to utilise new technologies to gain a competitive advantage.
