EBN Congress 2013 – Why attend?

This year’s Congress theme is ‘Innovation? – Just say "YES”’. But what do we mean by innovation and how can we say ‘YES’ to it in our daily work? This year’s Congress format has been innovated to focus on knowledge transfer – by getting the opportunity to listen to world class speakers on out three Innovation Themes, and, as importantly, on knowledge exchange through focused workshops and through themed networking. And through FUN!

Our design of the EBN 2013 Congress Centre and the Innovation Villages will help you meet the right people. Whether you’re interested in meeting clients, customers, investors, buyers, or anything in between, we have networking events, breakfasts, dinners, parties, apps and more to help you break that ice and come away from Derry~Londonderry with a new and valuable network of business contacts and leads from across Europe.
