#SGParty - Art Assets
July is traditionally the month where we bring this amazing community together in huge networking events. They can be free (or paid) and without a speaker (or with) - but one thing is for sure - they come with awesome custom art assets curated by HQ: http://bit.ly/sgparty2018
Please make sure you publish your July events, it’s an excellent opportunity to grow your lists attracting new people and have some serious fun with your local startup community!
p.s. - Yes, you may have a party in June, July or Aug - but July is the official MidYear Party Month here at Startup Grind.
f.y.i. - Look at how nice it looks on the dublin page:
as well as on the events page:
#YearGamePlan
While planning the party, plan the future - here is our plan for Startup Grind Global themes for 2018. Please take note of Blockchain/Crypto month in August. We’d love to have all our directors taking part.
Here is the 2018 Game Plan: https://help.startupgrind.com/article/370-2018-year-plan
#SGNationsSymposium
The Startup Grind Nations Symposium is our exclusive niche event specifically for countries and their respective Startup Grind Directors to discuss their entrepreneurial ecosystems and how we can better collaborate on a global level to help our local entrepreneurs.
The event takes place the day after Startup Grind Europe. It will replace what is traditionally the Directors Summit/Retreat for Europe, which is well served by the Directors Summit after Startup Grind Global.
It is only open to Directors and their respective country representatives i.e. Ambassadors and or a country’s Economic & Enterprise Development agency e.g. Department of Business, Enterprise & Innovation UK, Enterprise Ireland, Scottish Enterprise etc.

#SGWomen
What a month! We had 150 Female Founder events for the month of May! We hosted 200 Female speakers in 60 countries, with 6,500 attendees and over 225 hours of content delivered.
This has been our second highest number of events in a single month... ever! (topping out at 202 events this month), massive thanks to you, directors + your teams, for all the hard work you all put into it.
#HQTeam
New month, new HQ team members! We’d like to welcome Alexander Gordon-Furse & Emma Pawlowski to the team. Alex is joining as Director of Partnerships (Startups), and Emma as Event & Partnerships Co-ordinator.
Got what it takes? - We're looking for a PR/Marketing Coordinator and an Account/Partnerships Manager to join the team ASAP. If you or anyone you know might be a fit, please send them to: http://www.startupgrind.com/jobs to apply.
#SGBarcelonaConference
We’re very excited for another Regional Conference hosted by Alex Bacardit, this will be the second Regional Conference hosted in Barcelona and knowing Alex, it’s going to be a great one. We highly recommend that you attend, more information here: http://bit.ly/rcbarcelona2018
Please note the date has changed to 14 November 2018.
#Memberships
You’ll recall that last year we made quite a fuss about a new memberships program, so what’s happening about it?
We’ve been working slowly on the background on it, looking at all options, but with recent team changes and global conference, we’ve had to take a pause on our plans. From July onwards we’ll be working full steam ahead on it.
The other thing holding us back, has been that the Bevy platform needs to accommodate the changes, and till now (and ongoing for next 2 months), the main focus has been the stability of the platform, as well as ensuring that every ticket purchased, is a ticket sold.
This month we made massive headway with regards to this, so if you are still seeing ticketing problems, or attendees reporting that their ticket purchases are causing problems, please email Ford (our helpdesk) immediately with as much information as possible (screenshot, time of day, event link etc.)
