TechCrunch@Barcelona – Discussion and networking lunch at MWC
To do this we’re teaming up with the creators of an awesome new event which runs alongside MWC, called Heroes of the Mobile Fringe Festival. Consider this the “Off Broadway” or Fringe Festival of MWC, where you get to actually talk about the real issues in the mobile startup ecosystem in a lively debate format.
This interactive event will feature some of the most innovative and interesting startups and investors on the scene. Sponsored by Java, GetTaxi and Swiftkey (with further sponsorship opportunities available), this should be a great way to kick start your week in Barcelona.
So here are the details for our TechCrunch @ Barcelona Lunch Meetup:
Date: Monday 27th February
Time: Doors open at 12.30 for a prompt 1pm start. We will be serving a sit-down lunch. Doors close at 3.30pm.
Location: “Aquarella” Restaurant
Venue: Aquarella, Gran Via 572, 08011 Barcelona. (Two Metro stops to Universitat or a short cab ride from La Fira. A MWC12 Exhibition ticket is NOT required for entry).
Dress code: Unlike MWC there is NO dress code. Relax, it’s lunch!
We are releasing a limited number of early bird tickets now!
Tickets: Available to purchase here
Exhibition tables: Available to purchase here
As well as a gorgoues lunch attended by the main players in the scene, we’ll be having two panel discussion. One from a mobile start-up perspective and the other from an investor / corporate perspective.
Themes for the panel discussion:
• Building mobile startups to get big fast
• Mobile games
• Raising VC for mobile startups
• Making the app stores work for you
• Getting Carriers excited about your app
• Monetization and app distribution secrets
• The rise of the tablet economy
• New devices breaking onto the market
• Developing for the platforms – the latest trends amongst startups
• And plenty more besides!
We’ll be announcing speakers shortly but if you would like to join the panels please contact me, Mike Butcher on mike butcher (AT) TechCrunch.com
There are demo pod spaces available for companies to exhibit

Meanwhile, there are plenty of other HMFF events on during the week, with everything from breakfast briefings to big parties covering every aspect of mobile, especially the cutting edges you may not hear about as you trawl the halls and stands at MWC trying to avoid the raucous demonstrations…
