Events I’m going to in 2017
As the year just started I thought it makes sense to create a list of all the events that I’m (most probably) attending this year. If you are around, let me know. Would be great to catch up with as many people as possible. So here we go:
Feb 7–9: SaaStr Annual (San Francisco, United States)
This will be the first time for me, but I only heard good things about it. Already curious to learn a lot from more experienced SaaS founders and exchange some ideas.
Sep 6–7: Pirate Summit (Cologne, Germany)
One of the craziest startup conferences in the world and definitely a must-go. Very proud that this is happening again in our home turf Cologne. If you want to pitch your startup idea, meet other founders or investors without the typical bullshit, this is for you.
Sep 13–14: dmexco (Cologne, Germany)
Back to the more corporate trade show format, dmexco is one of the leading marketing shows in Europe and highly recommended if you are working in digital marketing as we do with quintly. It allows us to meet with our clients and partners from all around the world.
Sep 18–20: SaaStock (Dublin, Ireland)
I’ve been to SaaStock the first time last year and really loved it. Very focused conference with amazing speakers. Already loved the place when WebSummit was still in Dublin, but SaaStock is a perfect replacement for Dublin. Definitely one of my must-do events in 2017. This year I will also give a talk there and share some insights from our quintly story.
Nov 6–9: WebSummit (Lisbon, Portugal)
I’ve been to Web Summit for the last 3 years and although the conference is getting bigger, it’s still a great event to meet people (that’s what it’s really good for). Last year they made the switch from Dublin to Lisbon and I can also say it was the totally right decision. Lisbon and WebSummit is just a great match.
Events that I may go to (not finally planned):
- AWS Summit, Berlin (should be around May)
- AWS reInvent, Las Vegas
(to be continued)
