Workshops run from 2 to 5pm with three breakout sessions after the short keynote speech by Michael Birch. The breakout sessions are for you to help refine the propositions of the pitching companies (and other startups) better, therefore improving their chances of success, and also to establish partnerships, explore investment opportunities, etc. Actual split will be decided on the day.

Michael Birch, who sold Bebo to AOL for a reported £420 million will be joining us for both sessions. Michael has joined forces with Brent Hoberman of LastMinute.com and other successful entrepreneurs to launch a development fund, European Founders Capital (EFC) to aid start-up technology companies. EFC is expected to fill the gap between angel investors, who typically make hundreds of thousands of pounds available, and venture capitalists who provide millions.

How often do you get a chance to rub shoulders with one of the best tech entrepreneurs that the UK has produced in recent years?
