With a focus similar to that of the MWC, this event will bring together key players in the exciting new game called the Internet of Things. With 50 speakers and 200 attendees, the event promises to have a cozy feel and offer group brainstorming sessions and interactive workshops on energy, big data, future cities, connected homes, and more. Super early bird tickets have been discontinued, but you can still grab an early bird one, sold by 6 February for 375 pounds. Even better, the organizers seem to understand the struggles of young entrepreneurs and offer startups/academics and developer tickets at 125 pounds a piece.

EdTech has been a big topic for startups, because there are countless of ways in which education can be improved through the advance of technology. This London-based event is key for any startup thinking of taking the education road and has “been bringing innovation and inspiration to the education sector for over 30 years”. Over 35,000 visitors are expected to attend and one reason that the numbers are so mind-boggling is that entry is free to all trade visitors who register online (or those looking to start a new business in the next 12 months) and you would only need to pay 30 pounds if you try to enter without a badge on the day.
