This November, from the 13th to the 16th, the BeeOurly team visited WebSummit 2023 in Lisbon. Our newest creation, BeeOurly — the Mindful Calendar, took its place among other cutting-edge startups. Our service helps seamlessly book and manage appointments and also make follow ups through AI technology.A balancing rock, also called balanced rock or precarious boulder, is a naturally occurring geological formation featuring a large rock or boulder, sometimes of substantial size, resting on other rocks, bedrock, or on glacial till. Some formations known by this name only appear to be balancing, but are in fact firmly connected to a base rock by a pedestal or stem.
Why WebSummit?
WebSummit provided BeeOurly with a unique opportunity to showcase our innovative product to a global audience, fostering invaluable networking connections and immersing ourselves in the dynamic tech ecosystem. This marked our team’s first participation in an event of such magnitude, where the presence of countless people, startups, and industry leaders left us very inspired.
WebSummit 2023 showcased its monumental scale, hosting over 70 236 attendees from 153 countries.
