At the National Entrepreneur Conference you will hear from the leading venture capitalists in Silicon Valley and from at least 50 hot "com and .com" start-ups as they pitch their plans to these world-class investors. Hear industry perspectives from Yahoo! CEO Tim Koogle, ADC CFO Bob Switz and The Chasm Group's Mike Tanner. Watch and listen as the selected start-ups give their 1-minute elevator pitches and their more formal 12 minute presentations. Network with them at the exhibit tables and during our breaks and receptions. Got a start-up but didn't get selected or apply on time? Where else can you find as many great venture capitalists and start-ups under one roof! Come and network!

The "com and .com" start-ups consist of telecom, datacom, IT and Internet start-ups who are leading or plan to lead in their respective markets. Come to meet them. Partner with them. Acquire them. Be acquired. Fund them ... or find out more about their plans.

The National Entrepreneur Conference will consist of 4 general sessions, 6 break-out sessions, 2 receptions and an Exhibit Hall. Each general session will have a keynote speaker and a number of 1-minute elevator pitches from the start-ups. The 6 break-out sessions consist of a venture capital panel discussion (with Q&A from the attendees) followed by formal 10-15 minute presentations from the start-up companies. The receptions and Exhibit Hall are excellent forums for informal networking with investors and entrepreneurs.

The delegate registration fee includes daily: Breakfast, Lunch, Morning/Afternoon refreshments and evening receptions. Our sit-down two course conference lunch creates an environment for delegates to take advantage of additional business-to-business networking. Our staff is also available to help make introductions to other conference delegates.

On September 20th we will have a general reception welcoming all delegates, investors and entrepreneurs. The September 20th reception is open to the public. The reception will take place at the Westin Hotel Ballroom. The full conference - open only to registered delegates - takes place September 21-22 at the Westin Hotel.

Seating will be limited and if you are thinking about attending, we suggest that you consider registering early.
