In The Brain of Rob Harrop: Beyond Silicon Valley
Beyond Silicon Valley
From reading the tech press you'd be forgiven for thinking that all tech startups are in Silicon Valley and that most of them are some form of social or photo-sharing venture.

In this talk Rob will explore the world of tech startups outside the Valley, with a distinct focus on the community in London.

If you're running a startup or are thinking about starting one, come along to share your experiences and hear from a three-time UK-based founder.

ABOUT ROB HARROP
Rob Harrop is the CTO of First Banco. Rob was the co-founder of SpringSource, the software company behind the wildly-successful Spring Framework (now part of VMWare).
