Join ARRtist SUMMIT to meet 500 high-profile B2B SaaS Founders and CxO, and 125 B2B SaaS investors. Network with and learn from the most relevant community in B2B SaaS for Europe.
ARRtist SUMMIT is our annual, high-profile and invite-only networking conference where founders and CxOs meet each other and connect with investors.
ARRtist is the knowledge exchange platform for B2B SaaS founders, senior executives and investors.
We believe that a conference's value is mainly driven by the people you meet. A hand-crafted selection and multiple formats to connect ensuring you leave ARRtist Summit with high-value new contact as well as a smile because you refreshed existing ones.
All content is focused around 3 things founders need to build a meaningful software business:
Great product + technology.
Robust go-to-market motion.
The right funding from the right partners at the right time.
Content sessions focus on those.
Founders of different stages have different challenges and needs. Therefore we will implement two main tracks on the event - the EARLY STAGE track, focusing on Pre Series A (<2 Mio ARR) ventures, and the GROWTH track, specializing in Post Series A or >2 Mio ARR companies. Compared to 2023, we are adding a tech & product track.
We all are stronger together than alone. Therefore ARRtist SUMMIT will be just one part of the new BERLIN SAAS WEEK happening 8th-11th of October. Stay tuned for various side events, special guests, and meeting the whole Europe SaaS ecosystem in Berlin these days.
In addition to the lectures and master classes, we invite you to directly exchange thoughts and network in various lounges and small group discussions - the mastermind sessions - in a relaxed and focused atmosphere. In a very comfortable, communicative, and interactive setting, the guests discuss based on practical entrepreneurial experience.
