Hi folks, I am passing along a request from the NC CED (Council for Entrepreneurial Development) soliciting innovative applications of technology for InfoTech 2005. If you've never been to InfoTech before, it's an interesting venue for startups, larger companies, universities, and even individuals to showcase innovative new technologies (especially IT-related ideas). As an entrepreneur, I have presented in previous shows and have always found it worthwhile in terms of networking and exposure to potential partners, investors, employees, etc. Given the collective talent on this list, I thought some of you might want to know more or even participate if you're working on something cool.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact CED's Liza Lamberto at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 919.549.7500 x116.
