Startup Saturday 2010 was great for the HK startup community, so what’s next? Well, if you are into web applications or mobile applications, you should consider Accelerate 2010 coming up on September 22-23 in Singapore.
You can see the full list of speakers for the conference here: http://accelerate.six.sg/ It includes people like Joi Ito, Robert Goldberg (Mozilla), and Diego Rodriguez (IDEO), just to pull out a few.
- It will be a pretty large event at around 1500 people.
- There will be the typical mix of keynotes or panels, but there will also be plenty of workshops and, interestingly, deal rooms.
- Attendees have a chance to pitch to the investors and local telcos as part of deal room )http://accelerate.six.sg/post/Deal-Room-application-is-now-open!.aspx
