INTRODUCTION In 2010 F.ounders took place for the first time. It was based on a simple premise; the founders of the world’s leading companies needed a single place to meet. The event is an invite-only gathering comprised of the world’s leading technology entrepreneurs. Over the past four years the founders of companies such as Tesla, PayPal, Twitter, Dropbox, Apple, Uber, Tumblr, Nest, Netflix, Pixar, Oculus VR and Rovio have attended F.ounders.
Enterprise X, our sister event to F.ounders, brings together the world’s leading IT executives and gives them the opportunity to meet with founders of the world’s most innovative Enter-prise companies. In 2014, CIOs and IT executives from Deloitte, Accenture, Morgan Stanley, Coca-Cola and Nike met with the founders of leading Enterprise companies like Cloudflare, Ze-ndesk and New Relic. In 2015, this meeting of IT executives will take place throughout Collision as a series of workshops, roundtables and social events connecting the people driving and engineering innovation in companies.
Enterprise X is more than an event, it is an experience. 150 of the most accomplished and respected leaders in enterprise come together to share their stories and insights in a truly global gathering.
Enterprise X brings old friends together, while also creating new and meaningful relationships. Many of the attendees will not have met before, but will have experienced so much that is familiar in terms of the challenges of changing the established way things are done.
We look forward to welcoming you to Enterprise X.
Paddy Cosgrave
Founder and CEO

Enterprise X is brought to you by the organizers of the Web Summit, F.ounders, and Collision. Our events have been described by Forbes as “the best technology conference on the planet” and by Bloomberg as “Davos for Geeks”.
We endeavour to build an experience that’s different and that difference works for our attendees. Our speakers are world class and our networking is “simply legendary”. It is this unique experience we bring to Enterprise X.
Over two and a half days we create an intimate and carefully constructed event giving attendees structured and informal opportunities to forge friendships and build lasting relationships with the world’s leading IT executives.
While most conferences are based on pontificating and consuming, we facilitate interactive discussions that not only allow attendees to exchange ideas, but to tackle today’s enterprise challenges at the highest level.
During your time in Enterprise X, you will be invited to take part in the wider Collision event. Collision will bring together the world’s leading technology entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and innovators - this will give you the opportunity not only to meet your peers, but the industry-leaders from the world of technology.
