About Us
The problem we solve
Those who get ahead in today’s business environment have mastered the use of two essential tools:
Domain expertise and connections.
However, no matter how successful you are both of these take time to maintain and nurture.
How do you keep up when you are constantly busy?
- Traveling to in-person events is expensive and time consuming
- Online events can be excruciatingly long or drawn-out, and you find yourself easily being distracted
- Manually researching your industry, reading newsletters and reaching out to people can feel like a part time job.
The Solution
Imagine setting aside just one hour of your day.
What if during that hour you could be briefed on the most important developments in your field?
What if, at the same time, you could meet a handful of people that matter. New connections that can share insights, further your network and can be potential collaborators?
MicroSummits leverage new in-browser technology to deliver a unique experience. These 55 minute sessions are guaranteed to be a smart use of your time.
Who we are
Based in London, UK, our team has organized Biotechnology conferences (in person) since 2015.
Like everyone else, we had to “pivot” to virtual during the pandemic, but the choices were less than optimal.
So we invited our audience into the lab, using technology to create a format that goes with the grain of human nature.
After multiple iterations, MicroSummits was born.
Our Philosophy
Despite the challenges in bringing people together virtually, it’s the only way towards a sustainable future.
Yet, despite knowing this, we were once stubbornly opposed to the idea.
(Guilty as charged, we enjoy traveling and shaking hands! 😊)
Then we realized: Everyone wants it to work, but people need to LOVE the experience, not to think it’s “Good Enough”.
It was a long and arduous journey, but we stuck to a few core principles to make it happen.
We believe:
- The goal of an event is to deliver both knowledge and connections
- Online content should be bite-sized and well produced
- Participation should be effortless
- On-camera activity requires ‘social activation’ and incentives
These are some of the rules we applied to our development process.
