Clickworker, a rapidly growing global crowdsourcing innovator providing quality-assured content solutions, including SEO text creation and data authentication, will host Europe's first-ever Crowdconvention, a crowdsourcing-focused event, in Berlin, Germany. On June 15, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding companies, investors, customers and experts from Europe and the U.S. will gather to explore key issues in this rapidly growing sector.

"Clickworker is delighted to offer industry leaders and colleagues from Europe and beyond a forum to share visions and trends shaping this evolving space," says Wolfgang Kitza, CEO of Clickworker. "Given the explosive expansion of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, providing an opportunity for industry leaders to network and learn about the latest market developments, applications and future challenges is crucial."

The Crowdconvention program features a number of top experts in the crowdsourcing space, including Jeff Howe author of the bestselling "Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd Is Driving the Future of Business" and Carl Esposti, founder of the popular website Crowdsourcing.org. Ville Miettinen, CEO of Microtask, Pia Erkinheimo, director of Crowdsourcing for Nokia (News - Alert), and Michael Gebert, owner of the Marketing Society, will also be in attendance.

The event, which will be held in the InterContinental Berlin Hotel, has attracted sponsorship from key international participants, including San Francisco-based CrowdFlower (the official platinum sponsor), Denver-based Crowdsortium (gold sponsor), Finland's Microtask and Italian-based CrowdEngineering (both silver sponsors).
