#calendarsprinkles

Looking to take your story global this summer? Here’s a fresh batch of hand-picked events for founders ready to pitch across continents — from Paris to Hong Kong to Kyoto. Whether you're raising, scouting trends, or just craving inspiration, consider this your boarding pass.

📍 VivaTech — Paris (June 11–14)
One of Europe’s flagship tech gatherings, VivaTech blends startup energy with global enterprise scale. Expect AI, climate tech, and hardware innovation to dominate the floor — and keep an eye on bold bets from emerging market founders.
☁️ Psst... Perks Pantry members get something extra for Paris.

📍 NovaX — Hong Kong (June 30 – July 1)
A rising gem in Asia’s innovation circuit, NovaX bridges web3, AI, and fintech communities with a strong cross-border lens. Pitch competitions and venture networking are baked in — and the skyline views don’t hurt either.
☁️ Perks Pantry members may find a surprise waiting here too.

📍 IVS — Kyoto (July 2–4)
Not your typical tech event. IVS blends Japanese precision with founder-first energy. Think temple-side panels, night market mixers, and deep-dive sessions with global VCs and angel operators. Come for the decks, stay for the vibes.
☁️ Some Pantry perks travel all the way to Kyoto.

✈️ Can’t be everywhere at once? That’s okay. Pick one that aligns with your flavor of building — or follow along online and start pre-connecting with attendees.

🍒 Perks pantry pick:
Oven insider members receive exclusive access
(Some perks rise higher than their shelf price — this one’s definitely in that stack. 🥞)

From discounts to free passes to pitch referrals, pantry perks are quietly sprinkled into select gatherings — including all three above.

All events in Calendar Sprinkles are hand-picked for early-stage founders and builders — no fluff, just the ones that might actually move the needle.

We’ll be sharing another batch of Sprinkles later this summer, with more standout gatherings to watch for. Until then...

See you in the kitchen. 🍓
