Details

Slush is a great opportunity to influence the hearts and minds of 17,500 entrepreneurs, investors, tech enthusiasts and media from around the world. The conference features two days full of stage program, in addition to several side events. In 2016, the audiences for each stage ranged from 500 to 6,000 people.

The moments of fame at Slush are short, and the pace of the program is fast. We are building a program with no commercial content: instead of promoting, endorsing or speaking about your own company or brand, we encourage sharing a memorable story or lesson. We love real-life cases, stories of impact and proven scientific results. We appreciate personal experience, data-backed findings, the wow factor, and exclusive content.
