As
every year one of the most important conferences for innovation and
entrepreneurship took place at WHU on October 12 & 13th.
As always, the IdeaLab! gathered amazing speakers such as Oliver Samwer, who is
the founder of ebay Germany (alando), Jamba and nowadays is leading one of the
most successful incubators. Also Lars Hinrichs, the founder of Xing as well as
international guests such as Sahil Lavingia (Pinterest) or Gregor Hochmuth
(Instagram) gave speeches. But not only established founders had the
opportunity to get on stage, but also elected recent founders that wanted to
present their ideas to venture capitalists in front of the entire audience. It
was great to see innovative idea pitches live. Additionally to great speakers,
there were several networking opportunities in the breaks, at dinner or at the
networking lounge as well as a great closing party. Not only start-ups or those
participants to become founders were present, but also investors such as
venture capitalist firms. Altogether the event was highly professionally
organized, provided a lot of fun and networking opportunities. I personally
enjoyed the event a lot as I had the chance to meet really interesting and
inspiring people. One thing for sure: I will attend IdeaLab! again next year!
