Two days left to buy tickets to TC Tel Aviv

We are T-minus 48 and counting, folks. That’s when TC Tel Aviv officially blasts off on a day-long conference exploring all things related to the advances, challenges and opportunities related to mobility tech. It all happens June 7 at the Tel Aviv Convention Center, so don’t waste any more time: buy your ticket today.

Mobility tech’s growing at a rapid pace world-wide, and nowhere is that truer than in Israel, where startups stand on the leading edge of what’s possible. Seriously, what’s more leading edge than flying cars?

Two of the men behind this mind-bending aerial transportation alternative will grace the TC stage. Omer Bar-Yohay is a former member of the U.S. government’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s On-Demand Mobility Working Group and the current co-founder and chief executive of Eviation, an electric aircraft manufacturer. He’ll be joined by Rafi Yoeli, who is considered a founding father of the unmanned aerial vehicle. His company, Urban Aeronautics, is working on developing flying vehicles as viable alternatives to buses; talk about taking on a challenge.

On another aerial note, you can expect to hear a lot about the state of commercial drones from Yariv Bash of Flytrex (the world’s first on-demand drone delivery service) and Ran Krauss of Airobotics (a pilotless drone solution).

If investing in mobility tech is more your thing, TC Tel Aviv will not disappoint. Mike Granoff of Maniv Mobility will join Chemi Peres of Pitango Venture Capital and Yahal Zilka of Magma Venture Partners in a conversation about investing in Israeli tech.

And if business growth is on your mind, you won’t want to miss Mor Assia of iAngels, Shuly Galili of Upwest Labs and Shelly Hod Moyal of iAngels as they discuss issues related to scaling up and moving abroad.

That’s just the tip of the mobility iceberg. You can check out the full conference agenda here. And don’t forget about Startup Alley, where 100 early-stage startups will display an amazing array of technology relating to cybersecurity, AR/VR, robotics, fintech, biotech, artificial intelligence, blockchain and more.

Three days left to buy TC Tel Aviv tickets

Three short days — that’s all that stands between you and attending TC Tel Aviv 2018 — our inaugural day-long mobility intensive taking place on June 7. Well, three days and a ticket. You will need one of those. We’ve created a stellar, info-packed agenda that you won’t want to miss, so go and buy your general admission ticket right now.

Why mobility? It’s one of the fastest growing, most disruptive technologies on the planet. Why Tel Aviv? Because Israel’s leading the charge on boundary-pushing mobility and everything that hot topic entails. You’ll hear from some of the people designing and building Israel’s latest mobility technologies — autonomous vehicles, sensors, drones, security and maybe even a flying car or two.

You’ll hear from government officials pushing the edge of alternative transportation and smart mobility, and you’ll hear venture capitalists discussing how mobility startups can scale and navigate international expansion. An entire day focused on mobility tech’s opportunities, challenges and possibilities.

Noted speakers include Uri Levine of Waze, Raj Kapoor of Lyft and Chemi Peres, co-founder and managing general partner of Pitango. You’ll also hear from Anat Lea Bonshtien, chairman and director of Israel’s Fuel Choices and Smart Mobility Initiative, Fiona Darmon, COO JVP venture funds, and Natalie Refuah, a partner with the growth capital investment firm Viola Growth.

Don’t miss our exhibit hall — more commonly known as Startup Alley. That’s where you’ll find 100 early-stage startups showcasing their products, platforms and services across the tech spectrum, including cybersecurity, AR/VR, mobility, robotics, fintech, biotech, artificial intelligence, blockchain and more.

There’s still time to join your peers in Startup Alley. A Startup Demo Table Ticket costs 1,700 ILS, and it buys you two attendee tickets, one demo table at the event, a tablecloth, a tabletop sign and the best networking opportunity in Tel Aviv. We only have a few tables available, so click on the ticket link and take your place in Startup Alley.
