Introduction to B2B Rocks
B2B Rocks SaaS Conference is a premier SaaS-centric B2B networking event, celebrated as the third largest SaaS event in the world and the first in mainland Europe. Initially, it was a digital-only event during the COVID pandemic. B2B Rocks marked its 10th anniversary in 2022 with an outdoor festival in Montpellier, France. Since 2023, the event has been held at Station F in Paris, the world’s largest startup campus. Last year, the event welcomed over 1,600 attendees from 40+ countries. This highlights a continued thirst for human interaction in the digital age.

What Sets B2B Rocks Apart
Unlike other Tech events, B2B Rocks focuses on delivering actionable and practical knowledge from experienced entrepreneurs and leaders. The event aims to provide attendees with insights they can implement in their SaaS companies immediately. Centered in France and southern Europe, B2B Rocks offers a unique platform for local startups to gain international exposure and for big companies to connect with emerging thought leaders, creating a synergistic opportunity for both parties.

Year-Round Community Engagement
Beyond the annual conference, B2B Rocks remain active throughout the year by providing meaningful and practical content to its community. This includes webinars, live sessions on Twitch/LinkedIn, and replays of talks from past events. For instance, a recent webinar with Serena focused on “How to Win the AI Race in SaaS in 2024,” showcasing the event’s commitment to keeping its community informed about the latest trends and developments.
