In recent years, conferences that bring together highly knowledgeable people from different sectors to exchange ideas have become increasingly common. The best-known example of these inspiring talks is TED Talks — which even held an event in Istanbul last year. Now widespread across the world, these gatherings have become a platform for sharing ideas worth spreading. Yet a network dedicated to championing valuable, agenda-setting knowledge across Europe, the Middle East and Africa had never existed. Until now!

That's exactly where Istanbul TALKS steps in, redefining the "classic conference" as a "network conference." We're glad an initiative like this exists — a metropolis as much of a mosaic as Istanbul, steeped in history and culture, has limitless potential to offer!

Here at ReputeUs, we're delighted to be part of the social media management of such an inspiring project! Having started work on it with real excitement, we're now preparing a social media presence as impactful as the gatherings themselves.

The Istanbul TALKS conference series covers topics including finance, sponsorship, entrepreneurship, agriculture, women, art, technology and youth.

One of the topics we're most looking forward to will be gathered under the heading "The Next Big Thing." The first in this series is coming very soon…

Equity Istanbul, a first for Turkey, has already found its place in our calendar — an interactive event bringing together everyone involved in the fundamentals of the financing companies need. We've marked it in our diaries already.
