Hi there,

It's just under a week to go before the Sifted Summit on October 5-6, and our team is growing increasingly excited about what we're going to learn from our lineup of 190+ stellar speakers. 
 
If you haven’t already done so, sign up and join the conversation. With over 85% of all tickets sold, we're expecting more than 1,500 attendees from many of Europe's most exciting startups, and we’d love for you to be there too.

When we founded Sifted in 2019, our mission was to give a voice to a rising generation of remarkable Europe's entrepreneurs — and we're certainly going to hear from a lot of them next week. Some personal highlights I’m looking forward to are...

• Herman Narula, cofounder & CEO at Improbable, talking about the future of the metaverse.
• Dame Jessica Ennis, cofounder & co-CEO at Jennis, discussing how her athletic career has informed her pivot to startup life.
• Tom Blomfield, Monzo's founder, talking about his new life as an angel investor with Steve O'Hear, the journalist-turned-operator.
• An incredible climate tech panel with four extraordinary founders and CEOs: Tessa Clarke of Olio, Elizabeth Nyeko of Modularity Grid, Michelle You of Supercritical and Driss Ibenmansour of Motto.

As we all know from our 2D lives during lockdown, there's no substitute for meeting fellow founders and investors in real life. You never know whether the person next to you is going to be your next hotshot employee, passionate cofounder or enthusiastic backer. 

As always, we'd like to thank all our sponsors for enabling this exciting event to happen. In particular, our headline partner, Latham & Watkins, and our major partners, Silicon Valley Bank, Debite and Morgan Stanley.

While the rest of Europe focuses on the region's problems, we at Sifted are determined to shed light on the solutions. Every day our reporters write about some incredible startups changing the world for the better. 
 
Come along and be inspired by them — while tickets are still available!
