Speaking ahead of the talk, Philippa said: “Entering the tech industry can be a fairly daunting task for entrepreneurs, but with the wealth of opportunities on offer it is often worth the initial risk.
“By drawing together a wealth of knowledge from some of the world’s top tech leaders we hope to give those who attend an insight into how to achieve success in this lucrative, but competitive sector.”
Joelson is no stranger to London Tech Week, which this year takes place across the capital from 11 – 17 June 2018, having hosted a successful event in 2018 that saw nearly 100 guests attend and attracted interest from international media organisations.
“London Tech Week continues to grow year-on-year and as one of the leading legal firms assisting start-ups in the tech industry we believe it is only right that we lend our support and expertise to this annual event.” added Philippa.
