On 11-12 April at Churchill College Cambridge, 250 software entrepreneurs will gather to learn how to scale their businesses while listening to experienced entrepreneurs who have been there and done it.
Founded by Neil Davidson, co-founder of Cambridge-based success story Redgate, Business of Software Conference has been running for 13 years with one mission in mind - to help software entrepreneurs to create successful, sustainable companies that people love to work for and that make products their customers love.
Business of Software Conference Europe is returning to its home town of Cambridge this April after three years in other European cities. Bursting with companies at the very forefront of technology, Cambridge is the natural home for Europe's premier conference for software scale-ups.
