With special performing guest our very own New Zealands (NZ) Got Talent Winners J Geeks
Organized by 500 Startups, Geeks on a Plane (#GOAP) is an invite-only tour for startups, investors, and executives to learn about burgeoning technology markets worldwide.
Geeks on a Plane travel by planes, trains, and automobiles to the most exciting international startup scenes with the sole mission of uniting geeks and exploring cross-border opportunities. The result: a lifelong bond with fellow travelers, a wealth of new friends and business contacts in exploding technology markets, and a stronger appreciation for the cultural and economic ties that bind us globally.
Geeks on a Plane really targets innovators and business minds alike to challenge the norm and do something truly inspiring and exciting. Bringing together some house hold names, you can get the best feedback from some truly talented individuals (the geeks themselves) who have been there and done that.
The ICEHOUSE is a development factory of owner-managers and entrepreneurs who will shape the future of New Zealand's economy. We provide business growth programmes for SMEs; a business incubator for start-ups; and New Zealand's largest group of Angel Investors. The ICEHOUSE was established in 2001 in recognition of the importance of SMEs to the New Zealand economy.
Here at ICEHOUSE we are taking responsibility for delivering 1,000 of the 3,000 firms needed to get New Zealand into the top half of the OECD by 2020. We work with a range of SMEs, from start-ups to established multi-million dollar enterprises.
Come join ICEHOUSE and Geeks on a Plane at our next event, your sure to learn something, and meet some very talented individuals.
