Its time to mark your diaries for June 13, 2017 for The Europas Tech Conference & Awards TechCrunch is the exclusive media partner for the one-day event which takes a different approach to the usual events (tickets). As well as main stage speakers and panels, the special sauce of The Europas is the small, intimate breakout sessions where delegates can deep-dive into vertical topics with expert speakers. Plus the more fun stuff in the programme, like the music and cultural side events. Too early to remember? Remind yourself with the Facebook event or get the newsletter.

Instead of thousands of people, think of a great summer event with just over 1,000 of the most interesting and useful people you could hope to meet.

No secret VIP rooms, which means you get to interact with the Speakers

Key Founders and investors speaking; featured attendees invited to just network

Expert speeches, discussions, and Q&A directly from the main stage

Intimate breakout sessions with key players on vertical topics

The opportunity to meet almost everyone in those small groups, super-charging your networking

Journalists from major tech titles, newspapers and business broadcasters

A parallel Founders-only track (PathFounders) geared towards fund-raising and hyper-networking

A stunning awards dinner and party which honors both the hottest startups and the leading lights in the European startup scene

All on one day to maximise your time in London

Thats what The Europas aims to achieve. A great group of people from all over Europe, with key investors, founders and ecosystem-players.

Less pitching, more interacting!

And what better way to do that in the summer sun, in Londons coolest part of town, with a drink in your hand, the prospect of some great conversations, and a fantastic party and celebration of the European startup scene in the evening.

This year the event is also moving East, to the amazing new Hear East location, a locus for startups, and right by the incredible cultural quarter of Hackney Wick. And dont worry, there will be super-cool hotels for people to hang out together in.

Thats just the beginning. Theres more to come
