Succeeding in entrepreneurship is more than just having a brilliant idea; it's about mastering the moves of execution, adaptation, and unwavering perseverance. The "Stayin' Alive" theme is your anthem for resilience, adaptability, and staying power. It encourages you to tackle challenges with determination and strategic thinking, ultimately building businesses that not only survive, but thrive.

 

At BREW you'll see speakers like Dhiraj Mukherjee, founder of Shazam! a company that was acquired by Apple for 400 million dollars. Obviously, he knows a thing or two about growing and selling a business. He was named one of Europe’s Top 50 technology entrepreneurs by the Financial Times.

 Since Shazam’s sale to Apple for a reported $400M, he has invested in many high-growth start-ups and scale-ups. Dhiraj’s expertise is building adaptable organizations ready to create an inflection point in the future.

 

Of course, he's just one of the many great speakers you'll have the opportunity to learn from. The line up includes over 25 business leaders from diverse industries.
