About MicroConf

MicroConf began well over a decade ago as a small group of founders gathering at a rundown hotel in Las Vegas. Since then, we've become the world's most trusted community for non-venture track startup founders. Since 2011 we’ve hosted 19 events with nearly 200 speakers, hosted thousands of attendees, and impacted tens of thousands more through our videos and online community.
