Europe’s Largest Tech Conference in HK

2016-05-03 shenzhenparty

The world's leading media will descend upon Hong Kong in May.

RISE is produced by the team behind Web Summit. In 5 short years, Web Summit has become Europe’s largest tech conference which this year attracted 42,000 attendees from 134 countries around the world.

In May 2016, people from the world’s biggest companies and most exciting startups will come to Hong Kong to share their stories and experiences at RISE. They’ll be joined by major global media, hundreds of investors and thousands of attendees for three days of legendary networking.

Leaders from the Financial Times, the Huffington Post, Business Insider and Washington Post. Anchors from CNN, Fox, CNBC, BBC and Bloomberg. Columnists from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Le Monde, Fortune and Forbes. These people have all been to our events. In 2016, bloggers, writers and reporters from all over the world will make their way to RISE. Join them.

RISE is bringing together the most influential brands, leading investors and most promising startups from across the globe in Hong Kong on May 31-June 2. Exhibiting startups will have the chance to take part in our Office Hours scheme, a series of prescheduled meetings between our startups and investors. These 15-minute meetings are designed to forge relationships between the two groups.

We hope that some valuable connections will be made. Our data science team will be matching together some of our attending startups and investors we think make a good fit. There’ll be a total of 720 startup-investor meetings happening over the course of the three days of RISE.
