There are six weeks to go before CSW Europe 2015 takes Brussels by storm, bringing some of the best and brightest crowdsourcing influencers, thought leaders, and practitioners to empower the participants and provide actionable insights on how to infuse the crowd economy practices across Europe’s major sectors.
The 5-day European conference covers crowd finance and collaborative innovation, smart cities and mobility, and participatory government and energy transition. Kicking off with an Opening Gala on Monday night and wrapping up with the European Forum for Entrepreneurial Finance on Friday, here’s a look at the #CSWEurope15 agenda that covers three days of insightful and actionable topics, including our signature session series.
Each of our four signature session series were designed to highlight a different area of focus… interactive and collaborative exercises (#CoLab sessions), learning via case studies (#Breakthrough sessions), harnessing the crowd for growth (#Accelerate sessions), and uncovering major trends in the crowd economy (#Hot-Topic sessions). One of each signature session occurs every day and the signature session speakers are set to engage with the attendees in fun, creative and interactive ways.
