CONFERENCE FAQ

Infoshare 2021 will take place on October 14-15.

It depends on the law, orders and prohibitions of the authorities of Poland during the date of the conference.

Both - we prepared four options for the conference:

1. In-person - the conference will take place in-person with physical attendance of the participants on AmberExpo or a different place settled by Organizators.
2. In-person with digital elements for 1000 participants - the conference will take place in-person for 1000 participants. In the case of restrictions on the possible number of attendees, priority in offline participation is given to holders of higher passes (first Executive/ Investor Pass, then Networker Pass, then Conference Pass, then Startup Pass, then Basic Pass). Within the same Pass group, priority in offline participation is given to those who purchased Pass earlier. When Infoshare cannot take place in the offline formula, Executive/ Investor Pass will be downgraded to Networker Pass with a refund in the amount of the difference between prices.
3. In-person with digital elements for 500 participants - the conference will take place in-person for 500 participants. In the case of restrictions on the possible number of attendees, priority in offline participation is given to holders of higher passes (first Executive/ Investor Pass, then Networker Pass, then Conference Pass, then Startup Pass, then Basic Pass). Within the same Pass group, priority in offline participation is given to those who purchased Pass earlier. When Infoshare cannot take place in the offline formula, Executive/ Investor Pass will be downgraded to Networker Pass with a refund in the amount of the difference between prices.
4. Digital - the conference will take place digitally on the special platform.

Each pass type (e.g. basic/startup/conference/networker/executive/investor) gives you different profits.

This year Startup Pass is free, but the first step would be applying for it. We allow ourselves to check if you are a truly innovative tech project before we invite you to join Infoshare 2021 conference. Remember it is one pass per person, but when accepted you will have 3 startup passes in total on your account. You can transfer two of them to any of your team members. Thanks to this your team members do not need to fill-in the form again if they want to take part in the conference. If you need more passes, use other options to get access as we granted only 3 startup passes per team.

If you want to take part in the Startup Contest (for seed and early stage project only), just mark the right checkbox in the Startup Pass and add pitch deck. One thing to consider, you have three Startup Passes to use, but only the person applying for them can change data in the Startup Pass, including pitch deck update for the Startup Contest evaluation.

If conference is held fully online due to the Polish government restrictions, you will still have a free access to it. If the conference is limited in the number of participants that can enter the venue due to the Polish government restrictions, paid passes would take precedence (it is not applicable to 30 Startup Contest Semifinalists but with offline access for one person per team).

Infoshare agrees with Steve Blank's definition: a startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model and a business model describes how your company creates, delivers and captures value. The startup offers its own innovative product. Companies offering services, like consulting and programming services (e.g. software houses) can not be named startup in this definition.

You can check what the startup pass includes here.

Yes, one startup pass gives access to the Infoshare conference for one person only, but when we accept your project as a startup you will get three passes in the package. You can transfer two of them to any of your team members. If you need more passes, use other options to get access as we granted only 3 startup passes per team.

Infoshare Virtual Startup Expo is for startups only. To get the booth you need to mark the right checkbox in the Startup Pass form and be accepted as a startup. Just a quick reminder: Infoshare qualifies startups as project that offer their own innovative products. Expo is not for enterprises or companies offering services, like software houses or consulting agencies. Infoshare reserves the right to accept or refuse the Startup Expo application. Refusal might occur in case of applying by a Participant who is not a Startup in the Infoshare definition to be found in Regulation of Infoshare 2021 Conference.

Startup Expo is a virtual booth with startup name and logotype, link to one video material, and startup description. Startup Expo will be live on October 11th 2021. You can learn more here.

You have to be a seed (working on the product) or early-stage (having an MVP but before validated business model) startup to apply for the Contest. Only startups at these stages can use this opportunity. Infoshare Startup Contest is not for startups at the concept or growth stage. What is more Infoshare Startup Contest is geographically and industrially agnostic.

There are 5 steps to apply for Infoshare Startup Contest:

1. Choose Startup Pass
2. Either click register for Infoshare 2021 or login if you already have an account in our system.
3. Fill in Startup Pass form and mark the Startup Contest checkbox
4. Attach your pitch deck to the form
5. Send it!

Please do remember that you must be either seed or early-stage startup to apply for the Startup Contest!

Here you can find an example of a great pitch deck in our opinion, but this is only an example. Feel free to attach any other file with information that helps us understand your product and business strategy. If you want to show either video or audio materials, include links in your pitch deck. One thing you need to consider is evaluation criteria: business potential, team and product level of innovation - you need to cover them in your deck.

Choosing 30 Semifinalists will be based on 3 criteria

• the product business potential,
• the team – its structure, experience and time spent on working together,
• the level of product innovation (meaning also changes in comparison to the products already present on the market).

Choosing 5 Finalists will be based on 4 criteria

• the product business potential,
• the team – its structure, experience and time spent on working together,
• the level of product innovation (meaning also changes in comparison to the products already present on the market),
• performance - startup presentation during the semifinal pitch.

Choosing Winners will be based in 4 criteria

• the product business potential,
• the team – its structure, experience and time spent on working together,
• the level of product innovation (meaning also changes in comparison to the products already present on the market),
• performance - startup presentation during the final pitch.

Each criterion can be marked 0-10 points.
