London (UK), February, 2015 - EdTech Europe, a leading education-technology-focused conference platform in Europe, has extended its partnership with SXSWedu, an energetic and innovative education- sector event in the USA. The collaboration will see EdTech Europe powering two "European All Stars" events featuring leading European startups and corporate executives as part of the March conference programme in Texas. Reciprocally, SXSWedu Executive Producer Ron Reed and a selection of US education influencers will attend the EdTech Europe London event on 18 June 2015 - all with the aim of bridging the gap between the two markets and championing the dissemination of talent and consolidation of investment in this growing sector.
At SXSWedu in Austin, Texas, the two European All Stars sessions powered by EdTech Europe will be held on 10 March and provide insights into the European market for US delegates.

The second session, European EdTech: Industry Leaders Share Lessons Learnt, will allow delegates to hear from industry executives including Kelli Campbell, SVP Discovery Communications; Rob Grimshaw, CEO of TES Global; and Charles McIntyre, CEO of IBIS Capital and Co-Founder of EdTech Europe. The panellists will share their tried-and-tested strategies on how to be successful in the European EdTech industry.
Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet, Co-Founder of EdTech Europe and LAUNCHedu advisory board member, said, "This strategic partnership with SXSWedu signals our intention to connect EdTech innovators, thought leaders, and investors globally. We aim to help the entire ecosystem to flourish by creating bridges for capital, talent, innovation, and best practices to flow between US and Europe. It is both an honour to power the EdTech European All Stars sessions at SXSWedu and to welcome SXSWedu in London for the EdTech Europe 2015 event."
