Here are the key topics we’ll be exploring at SaaStock EMEA:
2020 has seen widespread digital transformation open up new opportunities for some companies, and posed an unprecedented threat to others. Whether the last 6 months have been a trial or a triumph, we’ll share strategies for building a SaaS business in the new world. You’ll learn how to be more data-driven in decision-making, lean in process and lead with empathy.
2020 has seen the largest work-from-home experiment in history. But has your team found frustration or freedom outside the office? Whether remote work is a temporary trial or the future of work for your company, we’ll explore how you can craft and grow a healthy company culture. You’ll learn how to prioritise emotional health, protect your employees’ attention and prevent burnout.
How do you overcome cultural differences and find global G2M fit? Scaling up in a different country is like starting a new company. So, should you master local and regional markets first, then grow internationally, or land and expand from the outset? EMEA’s biggest global success stories will share the secrets behind their growth strategies.
This year, we’ve seen social inequalities rise to the surface. From women’s rights to #BLM, we’ve widely become more woke to the world. But, should the tech bubble burst, are you sitting on the right side of history? From nurturing diversity to supporting staff, we’ll deconstruct what a purpose-driven SaaS business looks like. Be prepared to consider your ethics, how you’re making money, and the wider social impact of your business.
Producing a great product that continuously ‘sells itself’ has always been the founders’ dream. But what does being product-led mean for your sales and marketing engines, and how can you create, iterate and scale a high-quality product that delivers seamless UX? From designing a data-driven roadmap to creating viral loops, we’ll share how to build a successful product-led company. You’ll learn how to achieve that perfect combination – low CAC and high LTV.
Customers are the lifeblood of every SaaS business. You should listen closely – their voice belongs at the heart and forefront of everything you do. So, how do you align your entire team around their evolving needs? We’ll deconstruct what a customer-centric SaaS business looks like – both from an internal process and external communications perspective.
When the world moved online, selling suddenly became a virtual experience. We’ll examine how buyer decision-making has changed and explore what a winning sales model looks like now, both for SMB and enterprise. You’ll learn how to restructure your team for growth, craft compelling messaging and develop a data-driven strategy.

Earlier in the year, it seemed like VCs were more cautious to invest – but is that still the case? And in a remote world, how do you secure that next funding round?

You’ll learn where the opportunities lie for founders, which investors are still bullish and how to capitalise on changes in investment criteria.

This year we’ve seen a real shift away from ‘growth at all costs’ to ‘growing sustainably’. But, in an unpredictable economy, how can you really be sure your company is healthy? It’s time to ditch those vanity metrics and get a firm handle on the metrics that matter. You’ll learn how to use company metrics to build a growth engine based on real data and leave prepared to plan for market fluctuations.
You need to be certain your customers see your product as a must-have and not just nice-to-have. But, in a volatile market, how do you price and position your product for success? Should you be rolling out a freemium offering, moving downmarket, or changing your pricing strategy altogether? The answers lie in your product usage data and down funnel metrics – revenue per customer, customer churn, cohort analysis. You’ll learn how to adapt your model to changing markets, pull different pricing levers to positively affect your cash flow, and explore new untapped segments.
