About
A conference with one stage.
Mainstage is a single-hall tech conference: every talk on one stage, every hallway conversation ten steps away. No parallel keynotes, nothing to choose between.
The story
From a co-working space to the Pavilhão.
2019120 people in a co-working space
2019The team
Four people, one long list.
Marta Queiroz
Founder & programme
Elias Brandt
Operations & venue
Noor Haddad
Speakers & partners
Kaito Sena
Design & production
How we run it
- 01
One stage
Nobody misses the talk everyone discusses at lunch.
- 02
No sales pitches
Speakers are picked for what they shipped, not what they sell.
- 03
Long breaks
Forty minutes between blocks, because the hallway is half the event.
