ABC 2017 in Christmas market of Tallinn
The 6th edition of ABC took place in lovely city of Tallinn. During the 3 days of the event, we networked, inspired each other and exchanged valuable information. The setting of Tallinn as an established start-up environment was ideal and helped us attract many participants and also very interesting speakers.
Here are some highlights from the event:
Opening of ABC 2015 in Krakow
The fifth edition was the first to break the tradition, and was organised in a city not starting with a ‘B’. It was also the first time that the organising team was totally new, bringing new ideas, perspective and fresh minds. ABC 2015 was organised in Krakow, a city in the very centre of Europe with a vibrant start-up scene. The 40+ participants that attended the event had the chance to not only learn new things about entrepreneurship, but also network among them and share ideas. During the 2 and a half days of the event we heard about all the new start-ups that alumni of BEST have created, attended workshops on various topics such as strategic thinking, data science, and business creation and of course we has a lot of fun. Among the innovations of 2015 edition of ABC was that the event took places in various venues, allowing us not only to strain our brains on entrepreneurial matters, but also to explore the amazing and historical city of Krakow.
ABC 4WARD in heart of Central Europe
ABC 4WARD brought us to networking and entrepreneurship heart of Central Europe – Budapest. With 74 participants, speakers from local accelerators like iCatapult and Traction Tribe, and amazing atmosphere we managed to, for the first time, split the event into 3 parallel tracks. In the first track we tried organized basic entrepreneurship topics for the ones interested to get inspired and learn. The second track offered content and activities for seasoned entrepreneurs to help them network and grow. The third track was organized as a form of Startup Workshop where participants got hands on experience from Business Model Canvas to pitching.
