CONFERENCE FAQ

Infoshare is the conference where you can share your story and make your ideas happen. This year's Infoshare conference takes place on the 24-25th of May 2023. The conference consists of two days full of expert speeches delivered on six stages as well as matchmaking sessions and side events.

At Infoshare you will find knowledge and inspiration to cooperate, form meaningful bonds and create a truly innovative technological society. In 2020 we had our first online edition, which lasted 6 days with speeches on nine stages! In 2021 we got back successfully to an offline edition, where we hosted 4500+ attendees. In 2022, the event brought together 6000+ attendees including developers, executives, innovation leaders, marketers, investors, 544 startups, and 90+ interviews. We hosted more than 173 speakers on stage - successful founders, serial entrepreneurs, and well-known developers from all over the world. Infoshare gives also a great possibility for networking by the special platform.

Infoshare is an event organized by a group of professionals experienced with technology, marketing, and management thoroughly dedicated to making it the best possible high-quality event for all of our guests. Infoshare team started building the conference more than 15 years ago, making it the biggest tech conference in Central-Eastern Europe. Find more information here.

For startups we have a dedicated pass - Startup Pass available for all stage projects. This is a paid pass with full access, but the first step would be applying for it. We will check if you are a truly innovative tech project before we invite you to join Infoshare 2023 conference as a startup. It is one pass per person, but you can order more passes and transfer them to your team members. The startup Contest Application is not a pass, so to attend the conference you need to have a pass. For 20 Startup Contest semifinalists, we offer 2 Startup Passes for free.

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) or projects run by established companies/corporations can not be named startups in this definition.

You can check what Startup Pass includes here.

Yes, one Startup Pass pass gives access to the Infoshare conference for one person only.

The Infoshare Startup Contest is open for seed (working on the product) or early-stage (having an MVP but before validated business model) startups. It is not for startups at the concept or growth stage. The Startup Contest is geographically agnostic, but in 2023 we are looking for Tech4Good projects addressing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to be checked here.

There are 5 steps to apply for Infoshare Startup Contest:

1. Choose Startup Contest Application (which is not a pass) or Startup Pass (paid pass with full access to the conference)
2. Either click register for Infoshare 2023 or login if you already have an account in our system.
3. Fill in Startup Contest Application or Startup Pass form and mark the Startup Contest checkbox
4. Attach your pitch deck to the form
5. Click "Submit"

Please do remember that you must be either seed or early-stage startup addressing UN sustainable development goals to apply for the Infoshare Startup Contest!

Here you can find an example of a good pitch deck, 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 20 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.
