This year, we are adding the 'Digital Innovators' Accelerator', a session where startups will present their offerings, on the afternoon of 25 March 2014. More details on the programme and speakers are available at innovators-summit.com.

In addition, an extension to DIS 2014 is the Meet the Founder Berlin startup tour which will take place in the afternoon of 23 March 2014. Only a few spaces are left so if you are interested, register now.

If you have not been to the DIS before, the event is dedicated to bringing together senior executives from content businesses, technology innovators and service providers to understand emerging trends, share innovative ideas and solutions, see new relevant technologies and network. Here are some of the reasons you should attend.
