infoShare technology festival coming soon

  It’s the 10th time already that the industry experts, investors and start-ups’ founders from around the world will arrive in Gdansk, Poland. They will come to take part in infoShare - the largest tech event in the CEE region and one of the biggest in the world. It will take place from the 18th to 20th of May. Everyone can register on-line. The organizers of the event, which will be held in Amber Expo halls  in Gdansk, are expecting a record-breaking number of the attendees – minimum five thousand participants will come to Poland. – In the first month of the registration we noted 1500 registered visitors and this number is constantly growing – says Grzegorz Borowski, the organizer of infoShare. The event's program is extensive. It is based on lectures of major companies’ representatives and innovators whose projects have achieved global success. Thanks to their speeches and professional workshops, participants will gain practical knowledge in the field of information technology and new media. The list of lecturers includes among others, Jon von Tetzchner (the creator of Vivaldi and Opera web browsers), Kevin Goldsmith (Spotify's CTO), Jeff Szczepanski (StackOverflow platform's CEO), Jacek Swiderski (CEO of the Wirtualna Polska Group), Marcin Iwiński (co-founder of CD Projekt) and Mateusz Kusznierewicz (Olympic Champion and co-founder of ZOOM.ME). This year they will perform on five stages: Inspiration, Technology, Start-up, Workshop and Leaders. Startup Zone is a another crucial part of infoShare. It is organized by the infoShare Foundation and Gdansk's Business Incubator STARTER. It incorporates one of the biggest competitions for start-ups in the world – Startup Contest, which gives them a chance to win 20,000 euro and benefit from investment funds of up to 1 million euro. Startup Zone attracts young entrepreneurs and investors from around the world – for them the conference is a splendid opportunity to meet face to face and discuss new business. – The last edition of infoShare was attended by over 4 thousand people. That shows the possibilities that the Startup Zone offers. It is here where startups can establish business contacts, gain funding and listen to the best specialists – says Malgorzata Jasnoch, STARTER's CEO. But this is not the end of attractions which are awaiting participants of infoShare this year. The organizers update the 2016 agenda with the names of new speakers as well as with side events like the Great Networking Party – an integration party for all the participants with a live concertof Julia Marcell, the Leaders Event – a meeting at the Energa Gdansk Stadium dedicated for businessmen, investors and top managers.  Afterwards they will take part in a boat race on the Motlawa river – the Leaders Boat Race.
