"A well curated event in the Nordic winter"

Really well-curated topics, including speakers, moderators, and startups. Great side events. Helpful volunteers. I really enjoyed the after-party which was more than just people standing around with beer and loud techno like most events. Loved the painting!

"Most relevant innovation conference in Europe. "

The atmosphere, the way the conference is organized. The conference app works well, and all my meetings could occur, even if they were booked on short notice.

    Hello, this is my first time attending Slush. I really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of coming back again. It was really a huge event with its own vibe. Plenty of good businesses, plenty of opportunities. Of course, side events.

    The first time I enjoyed it, I will be back again.
    What did you like best about the event?
    The size of the event, its vibe, plenty of side events to go to, and, of course, the afterparty.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    It was dark inside. Making a few areas for people to work with daylight would be good. The app was lagging and not syncing sometimes. Food options were only vegetarian and vegan—no regular milk. The canteen could have been more inclusive, not just vegan.

    Inspiring and energizing.
    What did you like best about the event?
    Pre-scheduled networking and a choice of talks to attend in between. Attention to various industries and startups at different stages.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    Some areas were too dark - I could hardly see people's faces. The side event venues looked really bad and unpleasant.
    Did you have a favourite speaker or session? Please tell us below
    Not really. Spent most time in the meetings

    It was a great event with a comprehensive guest list and relevant speakers - it really does live up to its billing as "Founder-focused."
    What did you like best about the event?
    The buzz & people - lots of exciting discussions and relevant & interesting speakers.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    The meeting arrangement platform was pretty poor, and I had almost no replies. I only had meetings arranged offline using text & email. My only incoming requests were from vendors trying to sell largely irrelevant serv ces. Food was overpriced and over-processed, and there was too much focus on making it "meat-free" rather than good vegetarian.
    Did you have a favourite speaker or session? Please tell us below
    The Creandum session on founder compensation was the most practical and useful.

    Most relevant innovation conference in Europe.

    The atmosphere, the way the conference is organized. The conference app works well, and all my meetings could occur, even if they were booked on short notice.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    The waiting lines at the food court were super long, so what you were queuing for became a bit confusing.

    I liked the session with Victor Riparbelli from Synthesia the most because of his nature and openness.

    Overall, SLUSH was a very well run conference with an incredible amount of information sharing.
    What did you like best about the event?
    I really enjoyed my time on stage and the ability to connect with so many entrepreneurs.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    There is a lot of activity constantly happening throughout the day. I wish you could create greater focus on the speakers when they are on stage. To do this you would need to have fewer speakers and more explicit time when attendees can visit the booths and specific time to listen to speakers.

    A well curated event in the Nordic winter
    What did you like best about the event?
    Really well-curated topics, including speakers, moderators, and startups. Great side events. Helpful volunteers. I really enjoyed the after-party which was more than just people standing around with beer and loud techno like most events. Loved the painting!
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    I would have liked to see more startup booths, but I realise this is a budget issue. A few more spotlights, it's very hard to navigate in the dark.
