NewVa Corridor Technology Expo
Friday, September 5, 2008 at the Roanoke Civic Center
UPDATE:
Tom Weithman with the Center for Innovative Technology will be on hand to talk about the CIT GAP Fund, investments CIT has already made locally, and future investment potential in the NewVa region.
Come learn more about the budding technology center in Southwest Virginia! The NewVa region is large and diverse, not only because of our landscape, but also with regard to the size, structure, and industry of our technology companies. The NewVa Tech Expo provides an informal atmosphere to facilitate discovery and dialogue about the growing tech businesses in our region. Please join us to explore:
- Business and Production Partnerships
- Research Opportunities
- Sales and Marketing Alliances
- Investment Opportunities
- Employment
- Technology Business Management
EVENT SCHEDULE:
The NewVa Corridor Technology Expo will be open to registered attendees from 3-6pm. A portion of the afternoon, 1-3pm, will be reserved for NCTC members-only networking - Look at this an opportunity to practice your elevator, investment, or sales pitch. If your fellow NCTC members understand what you do and your value proposition, they can help make the connections to accelerate your business success!
The great thing about the NewVa Tech Expo is it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. The important thing is to be involved! Your registration fee includes admission for your company representatives, an eight foot draped table, and two chairs. If you have a trade show booth, we invite you to use it. If you’re a small company and don’t even have brochures yet, no problem. Print up a fact sheet that includes the pertinent info about your company and bring some business cards. If it helps to show a diagram, bring a poster or laptop (wireless Internet will be available). If you have a product to display, do so – whatever best explains your capabilities. Tech Expo includes you in the discussion about the budding technology community in Southwest Virginia.
