Startup Boston Will Connect and Educate Hub Innovators This September
Startup
Boston today announced the speaker lineup for its second annual
conference connecting, celebrating and educating Boston's startup
community. Coming September 10-14, 2018, Startup Boston will include
more than 50 free events across the city that are geared towards
everyone from aspiring founders and leaders at growing companies, to
those interested in exploring opportunities to work with or at startups.
Startup leaders and investors will provide attendees with actionable
advice, insights into startup strategy and a better working knowledge of
small business practices.
"Having spoken at and witnessed multiple sessions during the first year
of Startup Boston, I can attest to how incredible this event is for the
community," says David Chang, prominent investor and entrepreneur in
Boston. "It's the first event where all aspects of startups collide, and
those from inside the startup scene share real-world advice and
experience with future founders and business leaders. It's a must-attend
for people working with up and coming local startups, but even those
with a passing interest in the startup world will take away valuable
knowledge and connections from this conference."

entrepreneurs, strategic advisers, top-tier investors, community
leaders, civic supporters and students across a diverse set of programs,

Now in its second year, Startup Boston (formerly Boston Startup Week) is
expected to draw thousands of attendees from the local startup
community. Last year the conference held 52 events and was attended by
over 2,500 people.
"In an innovation hub like Boston, it's no wonder that there's a massive
appetite for this type of event. Still, the inaugural year of Startup
Boston was even more of a success than we anticipated. It has been
amazing to hear about the connections and relationships that have grown
out of that first year," said Stephanie Roulic, founder of Startup
Boston. "For this year, our outstanding lineup of speakers will cover
everything from how to build the best companies, products and teams, to
important industry trends. There is truly something to learn for
everyone."
