3. welcome!
Welcome to what is now our second Startup
Career Launchpad.
Last year we hosted over 130 of you at
the Google Campus together with some
of London’s hottest startups. You learnt,
connected, built... some of you even found
employment. And that’s what the event was
really all about. Showing you what life in and around startups can be. In 2012
we exposed the skills, the knowledge and the life startups offer. In 2013, we’re
taking things up a notch.
Over the next two days we’ve laid on over 70 speakers - all of whom have,
or are, making their mark on the world. Whether you’re a student, graduate,
or someone looking for a new opportunity, there’s something here for you.
We’ve designed sessions that cover everything from the impact startups are
having on the music industry, right through to workshops on getting started in
a startup.
So, make it your own. Challenge the speakers, network, and step outside of
your comfort zone. After all, that’s what startups are all about, isn’t it?
I look forward to hearing your startup story.
