TechCrunch Moscow, 8-9 December – Take The Temperature Of Russia’s Tech Scene

TechCrunch International City events are 1-2 day events that TechCrunch does in conjunction with partners. Coming up this December will be TechCrunch Moscow.

Since the first TechCrunch Moscow in 2010, the event has gained a great reputation, creating a major splash in the up-and-coming Russian venture industry.

It will feature some of the world’s leading technology entrepreneurs. The conference will be once again moderated by myself, with participation of Ned Desmond, the GM of AOL Tech Media.

The theme of this year’s conference is Innovation Detox. We shall focus on the prime purpose of innovation – addressing the fundamental human needs more efficiently to increase the quality of life. From quantified self to healthy lifestyle, from smart choices in personal finance to educated entertainment. We shall discuss global trends, new heroes and spectacular failures, toxic investments and viral startups.

As always, the conference will be accompanied by the Startup Alley and pitches competition, featuring over 50 up-and-coming Russian startups. We are currently open for applications from startups.

The TechCrunch Moscow event partners are Digital October and Kite Ventures. Follow TC Moscow on Twitter and Facebook.
