NL delegation to Bits & Pretzels 2024
We will be participating in the festival as a visiting delegation (without a collective pavilion). Instead, psps has curated a unique learning experience that provides our delegation of startups with exclusive group experiences, such as a matchmaking tour and our own exclusive panel discussion. These experiences cannot be booked by individual visitors. This gives you greater flexibility to attend the speaker sessions and other events freely throughout the conference days without having to worry about leaving a stand unattended. The strength of Bits & Pretzels lies in the networking – which we are setting out to do!
Your participation includes:
1 Startup Ticket – These tickets are highly sought after and currently on a waiting list. However, all participants in the delegation are guaranteed their tickets.This gives 1 person access to the 2 days of the Festival and 1 day of Oktoberfest
*Additional tickets can be requested for €499,- each
Group Matchmaking Tour, incl. face-to-face introductions with 4 relevant key decision-makers within the Bits & Pretzels community
40-minute panel discussion on the biggest tech trends in the Netherlands, featuring a 3-minute pitch by each participating company and a moderator + Q&A. (Incl. Badge scanning of audience)
