We have Marie from Copenhagen TechFest.
Thank you.
You guys look like you're having a great night.
But if you like this,
you're going to love what I have to tell you next.
Because Copenhagen for the Win is joining forces
with some of the leading startups in this city,
along with the city of Copenhagen and the business authorities,
to build
a major international tech festival next year in September.
TechFest 2017.
So for Yoshi,
you're thinking,
wait,
I went to TechFest this year.
Yes.
As you just learned,
we did the pilot in September.
That was the test.
The test was positive.
Now we're coming back next year,
building a truly international festival.
It's going to take place in September.
It's going to have from 30 to 40 events with different themes.
Everything from coding, design,
branding, UX, to fashion, food.
Lots of other good stuff.
And then at night,
we're turning the meatpacking into
a festival venue with a main stage.
We're going to be having dinners.
We're going to be having concerts,
parties,
fun,
demos.
We are looking for partners right now to drive
this program and to curate an event with us.
And just a quick note on what it is we want to do.
Because I think we all agree that this
world has seen enough boring conferences
in enough boring conferences.
In enough boring conference centers removed from the city.
That's not what we're doing here.
We are building a festival as a festival.
And by that,
we mean we're building it right in the city of Copenhagen.
We are going to build it in the
meatpacking using not just the venues,
but also the streets,
the parking lots, the facades, everything.
And we're going to do it human scale.
And what does that mean?
That means we're going to have a really,
truly conversation about how to,
how to tech-shape our lives every day, all day.
If you think that you have what it takes to
build a world-class event during our festival,
come see me.
And
if you don't find me tonight,
I think I have a slide with an email.
Write us and let's talk.
Thank you.
