🎪 EVENTS
🚀 The Brighteye Edtech Startup Festival Returns
Our annual Brighteye Edtech Startup Festival will be back in September, for the third time. We are preparing the details for this year’s online sessions, but please save the dates: Tuesday 3 - Thursday 5 September!! Register here to make sure you get the latest updates first!
And in case you want to revisit content from the last Festival, you can check out recordings 🎬 of the Product, Impact, People, Marketing and Finance sessions of 2023 now.
🍧 Meet Us at…
We are also busy coordinating our schedules for other events in Q3. We’ll be on stage at the Nordic Edtech Summit in the north of Sweden in August, Co-host another AI in L&D Meetup with Mindstone and Orrick in London, do a session at Tech BBQ in Copenhagen, and join Oslo Innovation Week in Norway and Bits & Pretzels in Munich in September, to mention some.
▶️ Looking back and repeating
For now, we’ll wrap with a few memories from a busy and fun London Edtech Week at the end of June, where we hosted the Official Opening Reception together with Oppenheimer and a Product Market Fit workshop with Matt Walton. The latter was so overbooked that Matt is offering another one, this time online, on 🗓️ Tuesday 16 July – you can sign up to join here.
