PE & VC, Virtual Conference, June 25th

When and where is it on?

The PE & VC Virtual Conference for CEE Region is scheduled for the 25th of June, starting at 10 am (CEST) and ending at 10 pm (CEST) – offering 12 hours of networking, 6 hours of panel discussion and 3 hours of keynote presentations. The gold partner of the conference is CSOB.

How many years has it been going?

0100 Conferences are operating in the PE&VC market for already 5 years, and this is the first time we are going virtual. Due to the COVID-19 – we have decided to switch to virtual world and bring the best networking opportunities to private equity market again in spite of the difficult situation.

What was the inspiration to start it?

COVID-19 has made it difficult to connect for everyone in every field. The traveling restrictions are causing business to slow down. Many investors understand that going virtual is the only option for keeping the effectivity and workflow, as well as for making connections in this situation. For the same reason, we at 0100 Conferences, have decided to go fully virtual for 2020 and to offer virtual conferences where everyone across the world can meet without traveling from the comfort of their homes.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

We have an interesting line-up full of international speakers who will share their best practices and experience at panel discussions and keynotes.

What tips would you give to people attending to get the most out of it?

Breakout sessions and 1on1 meetings. The most valuable part of the conference is networking opportunity. Many people worry that virtual conference cannot be the same experience as in person meeting, but in fact, it can be even more convenient.

People don’t have to travel, they can save time, costs and connect from the comfort of their home. The conference will offer 4 ways how people can network – breakout sessions, 1on1 video calls on request, randomly matched calls, or chat. We definitely recommend to use these to gain the most out of the networking conference.
