Oct 26-28: Fourth Annual Bermuda Tech Summit
The fourth annual Bermuda Tech Summit, presented by the Bermuda Business Development Agency [BDA], in partnership with government’s Economic Development Department [EDD] and industry association NEXT Bermuda will be held at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club from October 26-28.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Tech Summit is the signature event of Bermuda Tech Week [October 24-31] which includes several ancillary events, such as the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce’s virtual fireside chat with Sinead Bovell on October 27, the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation’s [BEDC] ‘Power Up With Web’ in-person event on October 28, and the EDD’s Tech Education Day on October 31.”
David Hart, BDA CEO said, “The BDA and our partners are incredibly excited to be organising the in-person Bermuda Tech Summit to showcase Bermuda’s dynamic tech sector, leadership, and innovation after two years of the conference being held virtually. Tech entrepreneurs, investors and digital asset enthusiasts across the globe interested in participating in the continued growth and development of Bermuda’s burgeoning tech ecosystem are encouraged to register for the Bermuda Tech Summit now and book their hotel rooms soon to avoid disappointment.”
The spokesperson said, “The BDA is still offering an early bird rate but this rate will be gone by mid-September, and with the PGA Tour’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship also taking place from October 27-30, hotel rooms are filling up fast.
“Set against the stunning backdrop of Hamilton Harbour, Bermuda Tech Summit delegates will hear senior policymakers, FinTech-leaders, and international regulators provide thought-provoking content over three half days, with afternoons left free for C-suite networking opportunities and local excursions, such as the PGA golf [for tickets, please visit their website.]
