BBC Worldwide Labs London Launch

Join us for the Launch of Labs London 2013

What is it?

The Labs London launch is an opportunity to come meet the team behind Labs and gain some valuable insight into what the Labs programme has to offer digital media start-ups.

The event kicks off with an introduction to the scheme by Labs Programme Director Astrid Sandoval followed by a panel discussion on the value of programs such as business accelerators, incubators, and weekend start-up session moderated by Claude London, Digital Director for BBC Worldwide. It will also cover the opportunities BBC Worldwide Labs has provided the start-ups in the current program.

Plenty of time will be reserved for Q&A and networking after the discussion, so come prepared with your questions.
