Will the capital’s VC community make London a rival for Silicon Valley?
London is preparing to compete with Silicon Valley as the largest gathering of heavyweight technology entrepreneurs outside of the US come together at the Royal Albert Hall on the 30th September. It will be the first time that the leaders of global household names, such Apple, Wikipedia and Virgin, share a stage to debate the uses of next generation technology.
Thousands of delegates are expected to come and listen to the tech luminaries in the highest profile non US show, of its kind. The London gathering of tech big guns is set to become a prestigious annual fixture in the UK business calendar. The event’s research highlighted that London was seen as a gateway to Europe by entrepreneurs, ensuring a consistent and strong lure to the city.
Called Technology of Tomorrow08 (ToT08, http://tot2008.com), the event is billed as the foremost business executive seminar in the UK and will address the big issues in the technology space today:
* Leadership * Consumer experience - present and future * How future technology will impact lives - enterprise and consumer spaces
ToT08’s co-founder, Martin Warner commented: “Silicon Valley’s VC community makes it globally unique and has resulted in several of the world’s biggest companies. London’s VC network is still a force to be reckoned with and will, I’m sure, help bring the UK technology scene closer to that of the US.”
In pre-event interviews (see links for videos) with Martin Warner the following statements were made:
