This conference primarily caters to companies and individuals that participate — or intend to participate — in production or funding of Web projects in the region, regardless of their local or global market focus.

Besides being a place where both sides will get relevant first-hand information this conference will be a place for networking and contacts, both for entrepreneurs and investors.

WHO WILL PARTICIPATE AT WEB.START?

The official program includes experts from various fields: developers, managers, entrepreneurs, designers, advisors, financiers etc. Web.Start aims to offer something interesting for everyone, while staying firmly focused to starting, funding and managing the Web startup projects. You may find the list of speakers and topics at the official Web site of the conference.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT OF WEB.START?

Above all, we wish to raise the awareness of the business and technical possibilities in the area of Web startups, as well as help Web entrepreneurs to present their products to a wide audience, as well as potential partners and entrepreneurs.

We hope that Web.Start will make possible a flow of knowledge and information as well as networking between Web entrepreneurs and investors, and ultimately that this conference will lead to some new projects and success stories in Croatia and the region.

PROGRAM

The conference will be separated in two topical parts:

Tech.Day: The program of the first conference day will consist of speeches and presentation focusing on technical themes related to development and usage of Web applications. The topics will include presentations of upcoming technologies, specific advice for better usability and stability etc.

Biz.Day: The second day of the conference is devoted to the business aspect of Web applications, specifically to managing and funding of startups. Various venture capital funds and other investors will present the funding options, and there will also be specific experiences and advice.

This day will also have presentations of specific local Web projects. We also expect a large number of Web entrepreneurs — active ones or those just starting — to attend, as this will be an opportunity to present their projects to prospective investors or partners. The conference will provide a private room for ad-hoc meetings and presentations, with all the necessary equipment and infrastructure.
