The Smart CEO Startup50 Conference was conceptualized with a very specific goal in mind: to ensure a clutter-free conference focused on gathering high-end entrepreneurship knowledge from investors and entrepreneurs. The Conference track will revolve around understanding the art and science of building long-term businesses in various sectors - including technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer and retail.

The theme for this year's conference is Idea to IPO. What does this mean? That, the topics will broadly cover;

1. Idea validation 
2. Year one of business
3. Organisational Design 
4. Arriving at a scalable business model 
5. The finer nuances of scaling 
6. From the horse’s mouth; a talk by two successful entrepreneurs on how they took their business from Idea to IPO  

Of course, in addition to this, we will have a series of engaging panel discussions and 20-minute TED-style talks by marquee entrepreneurs and investors to delve deeper into the theme of the conference.

And now, who are our speakers? Let’s give you a sneak preview.
