Now in its fifth year, the three-day conference will feature discussion panels, 20 workshops from introductory to advanced levels, startup pitch competition, exhibition stands, networking events, mentorship and investment matchmaking, co-working and meeting spaces, pop-up entertainment, and more. Attendees can also attend Satellites, events organized by startups and entities from the ecosystem to provide opportunities to network, seminars and talks, and even tours on prior, during and post the summit. While startups keen on taking an opportunity to announce relevant news, investment, partnership, or any other big announcement, can utilize the Launchpad.
