Speaker List

The Challenges
New solutions tend to face resistance from the market. Selling into industry takes up a lot of time and effort. We find that the three main challenges faced by organisations in the Ed-tech space revolve around standing out to attract the attention of prospective customers, getting the message to a broad enough range of target customers and influencing decision makers in client organisations without prior referrals who they trust.
What the Vertical Can Help You Achieve
The Vertical, by design, is a series of industry-specific events that bring innovative solutions using cutting-edge technology to the decision-makers of businesses. It targets Tech vendors, ISVs, start-ups and, specifically, C-suite and decision makers who represent organisations of industry vertical.
