SLUSH AFTERPARTY POWERED BY UTOPIA MUSICFounder Stage

Slush eli loska, on helsinkiläisessä start-up skenessä pienestä vuonna 2008 syntynyt ja suureksi kasvanut tapahtuma. Alussa oli idea pimeimpään aikaan vuodesta järjestetystä start-up eventistä maassa, jolla ei ole tarjota marraskuusssa muuta kuin loskaa.

Kaksipäiväinen tapahtuma järjestetään vuosittain talvisessa Helsingissä, keskellä yhtä maailman dynaamisimmista teknologiaekosysteemeistä.

Slush on paisunut vuosi vuodelta ja tapahtumassa on parhaimpina vuosina ollut mukana yli 20 000 osallistujaa. 

----------------

During what is – let’s be honest – the sh*ttiest weather season of the year, Slush brings together the leading actors of the global tech scene to Helsinki for something very special. Described by many as “Burning Man meets TED”, the event has grown in just a few short years to 20,000 attendees and 1 million live stream viewers. 

Start-up event Slush was founded by a small group of Finnish entrepreneurs, who wanted to bring the local startup scene together at least once every year. Event tells whats next in technology start-up scene from Northern Europe.
