This event will be like no other Startups Magazine event in the past, as you will be immersed in a Dragon Den style pitch session. The evening will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and interactive sessions led by successful startup founders, seasoned investors, and industry experts. Aspiring entrepreneurs and startups at any stage looking for some industry insight into securing investment will undoubtedly enjoy what the evening has in store.

Startups in attendance:

Omid Moallemi, Founder & CEO, and David Parr, Co-Founder at Prsnt Ltd.
