For those who have never attended the Slush tech conference in Helsinki it’s worth noting: it’s crazy. Each year some 20,000 attendees descend on the slushy Finnish capital to talk tech in a cavernous convention centre and party til the sun comes up (very late in that part of the world). There are also numerous investors that attend the conference to source new and interesting startups to invest in. For Slush 2018, we sent the very sober Sifted team of John Thornhill and Maija Palmer to attend the conference.
