Startup conferences are about speeches, pitches, and wooing investors. The big ones, they’re the cruise ships of seafaring. Latitude59 is a lovely yacht without the crowds. Only people who really matter.
Latitude59 is small by design. They like the cozy festival vibe. But there’s more to it. Entrepreneurship and digital technology aren’t limited to startups. They matter in society and governance.
Latitude59 2020 takes place on Thursday and Friday, 27 and 28 August in Tallinn, Estonia at the Kultuurikatel – a century-old power plant transformed into a one-of-the-kind creative hub. In the true spirit of being the flagship event of e-Estonia, it will also be available online, all around the world.
Latitude59 is THE place to be for various networking opportunities, in-depth discussions with top international players, several pitching rounds for both startups as well as investors, and an overall chance to get together and reflect on the crazy strenuous months behind us and forge new plans for the future.
Expect showcases that reach way beyond the venue, pitching competitions attracting interest both on- and offline, and plenty of founder stories for inspiration and guidance on how to remain resilient during those challenging times. As an added bonus, startup ticket holders can apply to a dedicated mentor program, designed to help overcome the most critical roadblocks and find answers to all the burning questions that have accumulated during the crisis and beyond. Stay tuned for the details.
Investors will have access to the most promising and fastest-growing startups from the region with a special spotlight also on those startups that were born out of the crisis. Together with their partners from Invest Estonia, they will once again provide all attending investors with a chance to get together, talk shop, and share tips and stories, this time in the format of an investor breakfast.
As the Estonian government announced last week that Estonia will allow public events with restricted attendance then they will be adjusting both the program and production accordingly. Their main goal is to guarantee the health and safety of their guests so rest assured all our program elements will be adapted following the rules and guidelines that have been put into force to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
To abide by the current regulations, limited on-site tickets will be released for sale, with added online tickets also available. Check out their ticket page to see what each ticket type entails.
