Finally we have published the agenda for Venture Day Madrid 9th May.

We will have a jam packed day full of cutting edge themes and topics to be discussed with our guests and you, the attendees!

This year we have taken a radical turn in making the Venture Day conference more accessible to the startup community.  In the morning we will be running a series of intimate workshops where you will get the chance to participate and quiz our experts on things that matter to you.

The afternoon, as always will showcase the top 10 startups coming out of IE Business Schoool.

Look forward to seeing you there,

The Venture Lab Team
