These mega forces are coming together to unleash the next generation of entrepreneurship that promises to decisively alter the economic and social landscape. Entrepreneurs ranging from Gen Y to Baby Boomers are seizing opportunities from this new, unbounded landscape. Using a combination of spontaneous IMs, tweets, You Tube clips, blogs and podcasts, they are inventing new forms of entrepreneurship while simultaneously showing commitment to green technology and preserving the world's resources. A powerful fusion of profit and philanthropy promising global benefit!
At TiEcon 2008, successful entrepreneurs and leaders from the frontlines will show you how to break free of conventional thinking and leverage these revolutionary ways to realize your dreams of profitable entrepreneurship by building agile teams, raising the right amount of capital, and generating a buzz. | | | | What is happening at TiEcon 2008? | TiEcon 2008 is two action-packed days of learning, exploring and networking. As always, high profile keynote speakers will kick off the conference on both days.. A set of Panel Sessions will dive into latest trends in: Internet, Mobile, Software, Services, New Media, Consumer Devices, Clean Tech, and Life Sciences. Another set of Panel Sessions will be dedicated to the business aspects of entrepreneurship which will help you navigate the minefields on the way to success: from starting a company, to understanding financing and the workings of venture capital, to building the buzz and scaling, to the innovative marketing and sales techniques being deployed today.
There is more.
