- Counting down to Plugg 2009
-
We're ready to go here for the second edition of Plugg, which is now merely 37 hours away from being kicked off at the time of publication of this blog post. The event is shaping up to be very exciting, with a promising bunch of knowledgeable keynote speakers and panelists from all over Europe and from a variety of industries, which is one of the goals we set for ourselves in terms of programming the content. We're also delighted with the quality of the startups that will participate in our annual pitching competition and judging by the content of their presentation slidedecks, things are bound to be getting very interesting.
We can't thank our sponsors, and also our many media & event partners enough for making the event possible in the first place, but evidently we would like to extend this gratitude to all attendees who've registered to participate (we published the participant list on the Amiando subsite so you can see who else is going to be there).
Plugg is not the largest web conference in Europe any way you look at it, but we're proud of the fact that we've managed to make it relevant enough to attract a decent amount of visitors (the same as last year, which is great considering the economic downturn which unfortunately forces some Web 2.0 events to cancel altogether). We'll do our best to make the event memorable and continue to stubbornly focus on celebrating European entrepreneurship and showing the world what we can accomplish here!
Hope to see you soon!
Robin Wauters & Véronique Pochet
PS: if you haven't yet registered, you can still do so until midnight tomorrow (11 March 23:59 PM CET). If you're unable to attend, we would like to inform you that we won't be live-streaming the event, but you can keep track of the chatter on Twitter and we will record a boat load of videos and make them available along with the presentation slidedecks right after the conference. Stay tuned!
