Don’t miss the most important networking event before the Mobile World Congress and 4YFN conference in Barcelona, this year in a unique collaboration with Tech.eu.

Rudy De Waele and Tech.eu invite you to come and listen to some startup pitches, inspiring talks and insightful panel discussions, taste some local Estrella Damm beers and enjoy some of the best networking during #MWC16 and #4YFN. You’ll be in good company – hundreds of mobile innovators, investors and journalists from around the world have already registered for what will be a night to remember!

What to expect?

Renowned mobile industry analyst and Andreessen Horowitz partner Ben Evans will be kicking off Mobile Sunday, followed by a fireside chat between Robin Wauters (Tech.eu) and Brenda O’Connell, Twitter EMEA’s tireless director of business development.

Next up, Zack Weisfeld, the General Manager of Microsoft Ventures Global Accelerators, is stopping by to share his thoughts on the world of corporate accelerators in a fireside chat with The New York Times’ Mark Scott, while Jaunt (and former Flipboard) CTO Arthur van Hoff will share a glimpse of the future of virtual reality in a conversation with TechCrunch’s Mike Butcher.

The inimitable Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com, will be closing the event in an interview with Ben Rooney (Informilo, ex-Wall Street Journal) before we retire for beers and bites at the venue (a brewery) and food trucks that will be lined up outside the conference space.

But before that, we also have exciting panels offering deep dives on global entrepreneurship, developers and investors.
