Investor Day Central and Eastern Europe 2009

We are pleased to announce that we have begun preparations for holding Investor Day Central and Eastern Europe 2009 in Kiev, which is scheduled for October 28-29, 2009.
This year it will be a separate event (last year it was held as part of Blogcamp CEE 2008, which this year changes its name to Spot and will be held there, but two days later - it makes sense to go to 4 days in Kiev), which will be two days. ( IDCEE 2008 Report )


First day - there will be an Expo, on which startups from the CEE region will be admitted according to quotas (Albania-3, Belarus - 5, Bulgaria - 5, Bosnia and Herzegovina - 3, Hungary - 5, Latvia - 5, Lithuania - 5, Macedonia - 3, Moldova - 5, Poland - 10, Russia - 10, Romania - 10, Serbia - 5, Slovakia - 5, Slovenia - 3, Ukraine - 10, Croatia - 5, Montenegro - 3, Czech Republic - 10, Estonia - 5, Germany - 10), which work until September, after September 1, all quotas are canceled and good projects from the region are simply selected - up to 150 companies. All who submitted, still get into the event catalog. The expo will be allowed ONLY investors (expect 150-200) and startups, no rogues. At the end of the day, accredited journalists will be admitted.
A 50% contribution for the Expo will be sent to the fund (to which voluntary contributions and investors will make), which will be drawn between the first three places of the competition (investors fill in the evaluation sheets) in the proportion 60-30-10 (I think we will collect 50k euros). Winners will be presented on the second day.
The main subject of startups - TMT - telecom-media-technology, but in addition there will be two separate quotas for LifeScience and Biotech and Cleantech (30 companies each).

The second day will be a conference - we plan few reports - many panels, with conflicting speakers and moderators. The program has just started to form. We plan 1000 places.

For representation in the region, we recruit Ambassadors, who will represent a conference in the countries (if you have candidates, let us know). By the way, in Russia we already have an Ambasador - Gene Kolesnikov (old resident Habra).

Now we have media support from Seedcamp and TheFunded.com - we are negotiating with several more major resources.

At the moment we have 4 dozen applications from startups and more than 3 dozen confirmations from investors. In Linkedin, more than 70 people signed up for the event (some investors noted there) and almost a hundred interested. There is already a discussion group at Linkedin. In the near future, the site will be launched and some guests and speakers announced. Breathless IDCEE on Twitter.
The official release is here .

In the blog, under the IDCEE tag, I write about the preparation.

If if suggestions, wishes - write!
