Internet World

Internet World is the largest and most well-established conference in Europe dedicated to promoting awareness of the potential benefits that digital technologies can have for the business world. Internet World is also an international exhibition, where leading suppliers and technology providers showcase their latest creations. The event usually lasts three full days during April, and is held in London.

About Internet World

The Internet World conference and exhibition event should be in the agendas of everyone involved and / or interested in digital marketing, online business development, e-commerce, and digital business strategy. The event attracts senior executives from blue-chip companies like Mercedes Benz, Aviva, Tesco, Unilever, Prudential, American Express, Visa Europe, the BBC, Harrods, PayPal, Yahoo, Fujitsu, Jaguar, the Financial Times Group, Gucci, the New York Stock Exchange - Euronext, Channel 4, Getty Images, and Forexspace. It is obvious from the attendance list that Internet World is also a unique opportunity to take part in networking and to explore potential avenues for business collaboration.

The event consists of seminars and keynote talks, as well as a number of interactive events, such as bootcamps, a solutions theatre, and a growth accelerator clinic. The topics discussed can be divided into six categories: e-commerce, digital marketing, cloud computing and hosting, social media, content management, and mobile technologies. The event is also regarded as one of Europe's foremost educational forums.

The Internet World Conference was first held in 2008, and since then it has done nothing but increase in popularity. The last edition of this renowned event attracted more than 300 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors. Since 2012, and in order to maximise the benefits for attendees, the Internet World Conference is held alongside the Big Data Show, which is run by the same organisers.
