It’s hard to work within the SaaS space and not have a tendency to geek out a little over data. Behind the scenes at SaaStock, we’re no different and always find it fascinating to delve into the stats behind the events we curate.
Our handpicked speakers are fantastic, but it’s the atmosphere and insight provided by our audience that makes SaaStock events really special. Our flagship event in Dublin this coming October will be no exception.
In order to shine a light on the incredible diversity of our audience, we dug into 2019’s attendee data. Here’s a quick rundown of 25 companies travelling to join us from all four corners of the globe, bringing a truly international flavour to this year’s event and showcasing some true SaaS chops.
The Antipodeans Turning Accounting On Its Head
🇦🇺 Zivora

We especially like the chat function for internal and external contacts, enabling the user to place ‘post it’ notes on certain data points to easily bring others into the contextualized conversation.
The Hills Are Alive, With the Sound of Hiring
🇦🇹 Firstbird
