Speakers and Sponsors Revealed for LincUpLive
News Release
10th September 2013
Popular digital business event LincUpLive is back at the DoubleTree by Hilton on 24th October with a new theme, sponsors and list of influential speakers.
This year’s event is entitled ‘Tomorrow’s Business: Innovation Growth Regeneration’ and will provide delegates with tips and advice on how to keep up with, and embrace, new technologies and business practices.
One of the most hotly anticipated speakers is Redg Snodgrass, founder of Stained Glass, a wearable-technology incubator based in Silicon Valley, US.
Stained Glass recently launched the first ever app-directory specifically for users of Google Glass.
The co-organiser of LincUpLive, Glenn Le Santo, said: “The calibre of our speakers is outstanding every year, and 2013 is no different. We are thrilled to be able to bring to Lincoln a variety of experts that may not otherwise have been accessible by local businesses.
“By hosting speakers such as these we can ensure that businesses in Lincolnshire have access to expert insights on the best business practices and technologies that will give them the edge in the national and global marketplaces.”
Other influential speakers include Mark Middleborough, Director of Engineering at Siemens, and Wayne Gibbins, an Associate at Notion Capital.
Dr David Rae, Director of Enterprise and Innovation at the University of Lincoln, will be hosting breakout sessions on entrepreneurship. Some other breakout session subjects will include start-ups, media, marketing and finance.
The conference, sponsored by Lincolnshire County Council and the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, is expected to attract around 200 delegates and “will be a fun, educational and informative day away from the office”.
The aim of LincUpLive 2013 is to include all aspects of business futures, making it relevant to all delegates. The areas covered will include HR, finance, marketing, engineering, technology and more.
The day will be split into speaker presentations, breakout sessions and networking, and those attending will be able to tailor their experiences to personal requirements by choosing which sessions to attend, dependent on their specific business interests.
Food and refreshments will be served throughout the day, and there will be a drinks party afterwards in the hotel’s Electric Bar and Restaurant.
“We want every delegate at our event to leave at the end of the day having learned something helpful and important that they can translate into their day-to-day business workings,” said Glenn.
“We also want them to have made valuable contacts and, above all, had a great time.”
