The Next Web Conference is just around the corner, and we’ve got our eye on this innovative space.
The Next Web and the Next Web Conference are dedicated to connecting leading experts and innovative disruptors from the industry’s biggest brands. The TNW network and ecosystem are made up of more than 1000 founders, investors, policymakers, marketers, product builders, and more.
The Next Web Conference first began in 2006, but over the past 17 years, this conference became Europe’s premier place for tech and media to convene and has evolved into a week-long celebration boasting over 200 speakers, 6,000 companies, 1,500 startups, and 240 investment firms.
