Noah Conference

The London Noah Conference is a two-day event aimed at industry leaders in sectors that are directly involved with Internet technologies. This annual event is recognised by professionals and leading experts as a great opportunity to evaluate the current state of Internet technologies and strategies and to debate the future of the industry.

About the Noah Conference

The Noah Conference was created with the objective of establishing a meeting point where industry leaders could discuss the future direction of Internet technologies and their application to different business areas. The event took its name from Noah's Ark, and in doing so, the organisers hoped that this event would become synonymous with innovation, new beginnings, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The 2012 edition of the Noah Conference welcomed more than 1,350 delegates that came from 44 countries. A large percentage of attendees (over 22 per cent) were CEOs for top international companies. The majority of delegates belong to internet companies, service providers, the media and communications sector, and investment companies. Firms like the Huffington Post, Monster, Axel Springer, Barclays Capital, Yahoo, Softonic, Trovit, and Iris Capital are often represented at this event.

Attendance to this event is possible on an invitation-only basis. Those interested in attending can request an invitation code from the event's official website after registering their interest online. Once a registration code has been received, visitors can register and purchase their tickets online at http://www.noah-conference.com/2013/london13/registration/ The event is usually held in November and consists of panel debates, company presentations, keynote speeches, interviews.

Background History

The Noah Conference was first launched in 2009, and it soon became a point of reference at European and global level. This event is organised by Noah Advisors, a group of high-profile experts with international experience in consulting, investment banking, and finance.

The event was created with the aim of providing a site where all things related to Internet business could be analysed in depth. In 2012, the conference's success transcended boundaries with the celebration of the first Noah Conference in San Francisco.
