VentureBeat has just announced its six premier events for 2015 combining three large all-access conferences with three invitation-only summits.
The three public banner events include the long-standing MobileBeat and GamesBeat alongside the newer entry, GrowthBeat. These three have quickly become not-to-be-missed mainstays in the Silicon Valley event circuit, growing in attendance each year to standing-room capacity. Each offers a marquee lineup of speakers and panelists exploring the most important trends in their fields.
“As in our daily coverage, VentureBeat’s goal is to sort through the hype, and help decision-makers find the best tech and strategies for growth,” explains Matt Marshall, the CEO and founder of VentureBeat. “With our 2015 lineup, we continue VentureBeat’s tradition of fostering in-depth, sincere dialogue around the latest trends.”
The three larger-themed events will each be paired with an invitation-only summit. These exclusive summits bring together top leaders and executives in their sectors offering a rare opportunity for peer networking, discovery and collaboration.
But the best spokespeople for VentureBeat events are those who have attended them in the past. Here’s what some had to say:
“For a VC, we like to find people who are smarter than us and learn from them. This isone of my favorite places to do that.” — Jon Soberg, managing director, Blumberg Capital
“The exposure we experienced at GamesBeat was unparalleled. We met with dozens of top level executives from the gaming industry, quality tech press publications and TV,and even potential investors.” — Jan Goetgeluk, CEO, Virtuix
“What is truly remarkable about this event is that it brings together key decision-makerswho are relevant to enterprise mobile…coming up with substantive conclusions about the biggest mobile trends we are seeing today.” — Gaurav Tewari, executive director, SAP Ventures
