Los Angeles County Technology Week Celebrates Local Tech Entrepreneurs
ALTADENA—September 13, 1011—The 10th annual Los Angeles Technology Week will be held October 17-21, 2011 at the Altadena-based Business Technology Center (“BTC”). The BTC is a project of the Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles (CDC), and the largest technology business incubator in California.
“L.A. TechWeek has become known as a ‘don’t miss event’ among venture capitalists and both fledgling and veteran technology entrepreneurs,” explains Dr. Mark Lieberman, co-founder of Technology Week and director of the BTC. “It’s a rare local opportunity for this peer group to gain introductions, swap war stories and hear what’s new in their world.” The event showcases the innovations of high-tech companies, connects technology leaders and entrepreneurs with strategic resources and honors a local technology entrepreneur with the Technology Leader of the Year award.
This year’s theme is “Where Innovation Meets Implementation.” TechWeek’s signature symposium on October 20, 2011 features seven panel discussions with nationally-recognized business entrepreneurs addressing topics ranging from the sales, legal and funding issues facing start-ups, to opportunities technology provides in the fields of entertainment, medical devices and green energy. Tickets to the Oct. 20 symposium include lunch and are $65 and $20 for students, if purchased by Oct. 1; $85 and $40 for students if purchased after Oct. 1. Event details and registration are available at https://techweek.ticketleap.com/october-2011/.
