TechHub Riga Meetup

Join our Monthly Meetup that takes place at the New Premises of TechHub Riga on Kalku street 12/14 (entrance from Kaleju street)! Pay attention to date - we're gathering on May 12th this time to warm up before the Latitude59 conference!

Our special topic this time is cyber security, and we're pleased to welcome the Commander of the Cyber Defense Unit Gatis Graudins to this meetup to share some thoughts on the topic and what we can do to improve the Latvian cyber security. Read more on Gatis Graudins here (http://www.sargs.lv/lv/Zinas/Dienesta_gaita/2014/03/27-01.aspx?p=1) (in Latvian).

We've also scheduled announcements from Aigars Macins (https://www.linkedin.com/in/aigarsmacins) (Microsoft) and Oliver Bey (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/oliver-bey/79/a44/104) (EIT ICT Labs Germany).

As always, we will have our Talent Pitch! This is an opportunity for startups to pitch for talent. Startups can apply to get 2 minutes to talk about their company, who are they looking for and why people should join. If you are looking for a startup job, or a founder looking for co-founders, you are welcome to present. If you want to pitch for talent, you have to apply to egita.polanska@techhub.com and send maximum 3 slides to show on screen, summarizing your startup - problem you're solving, what you can offer and who you are looking for (slide format: 16:9). Deadline is 6 PM on May 10th. TechHub members have priority to pitch for talent if we have too many requests!

There will also be live Idea Pitch session! You will have 2 minutes to spread your ideas out in the crowd! Maybe you have an idea of the next Skype? This is where you start! Immediate crowd feedback accompanied with possible partners from the other meetup members! Sounds fun? It is fun!

Monthly Meetups are free of charge and open to everyone who's interested!
