The annual event, now in its 14th year, will host a string of sessions throughout the week, full of insights from leading US tech entrepreneurs who will sit alongside British innovators from up and down the country.
Although the format has changed slightly by shifting to a digital summit for 2020, the purpose remains clear: connecting investors, entrepreneurs, students and more with a vision of fostering relationships between Silicon Valley, Europe and, new for this year, Asia.
Speakers joining Silicon Valley Comes to the UK this year include Michele Romanow (Clearbanc), Alex Scott (BBC/Sky and Arsenal), Michael Acton Smith (Calm) and Check Warner (Ada Ventures).
More exciting speakers are set to be announced over the next few weeks. For now, here is some more information on the key events taking place across the week:
