Business of Software Conference Europe is returning to its home town of Cambridge on 11-12 April. Bursting with companies at the very forefront of technology, Cambridge is the natural home for Europe's premier conference for software scale-ups.
Business of Software Conference Europe is a two-day, single-track conference to help you build great software and turn it into a profitable business. In the words of Joel Spolsky (Founder, Stack Exchange & Trello), “every speaker would be a headline keynote at most other conferences”. Talks are in-depth, tightly curated for content and delivery, there are zero sales pitches, panels or sponsor pitches. Every session offers ideas and specific things you can use to build better software or improve your business.
This year the speakers are looking at how to achieve scale in your business. Attendees will learn how to scale through product-driven growth, how to scale teams, how to scale a sales operation, how to scale trust, as well as hearing from entrepreneurs who have successfully grown both bootstrapped and funded businesses. As always at BoS Conference, attendees will learn how to make product, culture, innovation, strategy, marketing and sales drive sustainable, profitable, growth. See below for a list of talks:
