Smarkets to pitch at international gaming conference
EiG is one of the leading online gaming conferences. Around 1,300 gaming industry executives and insiders will attend September 23-25, 2008 in Barcelona. A new feature of the conference is a platform for entrepreneurs to pitch their latest innovations in the gaming world in front of a panel of experts. The winner will be named EiG’s Popular Start-Up of 2008/9. Smarkets is pleased to have been invited to present.
I will be pitching Smarkets as the new face of online gaming. I’ll be joined on stage with Alex Czajkowski of eGaming2.0, Adam Burkitt of URBet, Dave McDowell of FSB Tech and my friend Sean Glass of Pikum.

Smarkets to take part in Digital Mission NYC
Along with 20 other UK startups, I’ll be representing Smarkets on Digital Mission September 14-19th, a program put on by UKTI to promote UK based companies to the American market coinciding with Web 2.0 Expo. London is making great progress becoming a startup hub, and I’m confident this trip will show the tech world that it’s not all about Silicon Valley anymore.
I will be introducing Smarkets, the simple way to place bets on your favourite events, to potential investors and partners in New York, my former hometown. I’d like to thank Sam Michel and his team at Chinwag for their hard work organising the trip.
