The 2020 year was full of unexpected twists and turns. Covid-19 had a gutting effect on almost every industry, especially on the in-person events which disappeared practically overnight in the wake of the pandemic. It is a matter of time till the event industry gets back to business as usual. Fortunately, the need to meet and connect with new people is still here.
Clear Virtual Strategy - Inclusivity, Flexibility & Convenience
Despite the pandemic, 0100 Conferences wanted to continue in its mission – to be the best networking European platform for the PE & VC professionals fostering learning, sharing knowledge, but most importantly, exclusive networking.
Keeping the safety of our audience in the first place, the 0100 Conferences team has reacted quickly to the market needs and decided to go entirely virtual for the whole year 2020. With a new virtual strategy, we wanted to provide you with an inclusive, flexible and convenient way how you could stay connected and updated with the latest market trends and insights.
Part of our virtual strategy was also a new fresh product which is part of 0100 Conferences – the investors' database – InvestBridge. Through this complete digital toolkit, we make it easy for General Partners to identify the right investors to fit their investment strategies. Thanks to InvestBridge, you can now access and filter more than 6,000+ LPs and 25,000+ contacts.

Why HOPIN? The First All-In-One Live Online Events Platform
The 2020 year proved us that we had chosen the best digital platform for our conferences. Our technology that connects people from all over the world proved to be simple, convenient, and reliable. Hopin is one of the fasted growing events platform which began as a simple networking tool for matching people one-on-one but rapidly grew into a full-conference online events platform with Sessions, Stages, Expos, and more. The software lately announced that it has been closed a $125 million Series B round of capital which was raised at a $2.125 billion valuation, making Hopin a double unicorn. After growing from a single person to 215 in a year or so, the startup expects to reach 800 staffers in 2021.
Thanks to Hopin platform, we were able to connect Limited Partners, General Partners, Service Providers and startups in one place, and make an enormous online event small again. With more investments coming in, 0100 Conferences believes that the Hopin platform will continue adding even more useful features making networking effortless than ever before.
What’s Next?
0100 Conferences heads into 2021 as a more experienced platform. We are preparing for our PE & VC network exciting events for the upcoming year. You can look forward to four conferences – and already make a registration for events in Q1-Q2.
