8 reasons why you shouldn't miss #LIS15
Lisbon Investment Summit
It's the 3rd edition of the Lisbon Investment Summit. So, this year, #LIS15 will be different.
Let’s be restless. Let’s embrace the unexpected. And let’s bring people together.
There’s definitely something happening in Lisbon, and it’s time for the world to know.
Here’s why you shouldn’t miss #LIS15:
1. no boundaries: walk around, go on stage, talk to people
It will be an interactive event where both speakers and attendees will get to talk and share their stories. All doors are open - you just need to choose which one you’ll enter.
2. workshops for entrepreneurs – learn with the experts
This year, we’re embracing the learn by doing motto. We’ll have workshops on how to create and manage your own startup, growth hacking with Casey Armstrong andPatrick Vlaskovits (best selling author by the New York Times) and many others. You won’t just sit back and listen – you’ll get things done.
3. inspiring speakers from NASA, 500startups, Grooveshark
Some of the speakers include Gary Martin, director of partnerships at NASA, Andres Barreto, co-founder of Grooveshark, Alexandre Barbosa, managing director at Faber Ventures, James Cameron, investor at Accel Partners, Stephan Morais, president at Caixa Capital, Tristan Pollock, entrepreneur in residence at 500startups. And that's just a few from 50+ speakers.
4. meet the speakers – book your one-on-ones
You asked, we got it. You can now book one-on-one meetings with speakers and other guests (we'll make our best to accommodate every request). If you have a startup and are looking for feedback, mentoring or even investment, you can also apply for live mentoring. Don’t let this great opportunity go to waste… You just need to fill-in this form.
5. get to know the Portuguese startup community
Everyone is talking about Lisbon and its growing startup scene. Meet talented people who really got the startup movement in Portugal started, such as Miguel Amaro (Uniplaces), Nuno Sebastião (Feedzai), Beta-i, Startup Lisboa, Lisbon’s City Hall and VCs like Caixa Capital, Portugal Ventures and Faber Ventures.
6. spend 2 days in a historical palace that is actually one of Lisbon’s hidden gems
#LIS15 will take place at Palácio de Pombal by Carpe Diem, right in Lisbon’s historical centre. Palácio de Pombal is one of Lisbon’s hidden gems and you’ll get to explore every corner.
7. listen the pitches of Lisbon Challenge startups
The Lisbon Challenge Spring’15 startups will pitch at #LIS15, the final test for the startups and the end of the 3-month accelerator program. From an online community for extreme sports to a device that measures how much electricity your fridge or washing are using up, these startups have worked really hard to present you creative and useful solutions to common problems.
8. party with us!
We’re setting up a real, typical "tuga" summer party. There will be a barbecue, sardines, drinks and music in the palace garden and you’re all invited. Oh, did we mention that it's until sunrise? ;)
*NEW REASON*
9. hot news will be shared
We cannot disclose it yet, but we have BIG news coming up. You'll find out at #LIS15... or later, if you're a laggard.
Needless to say that this is going to be a memorable event, and we are really looking forward to bringing together the whole startup community in Portugal. Get your ticketshere before we run out of space (the previous editions have always sold out).
Make sure you don’t miss it. |
