Planning for next year.

This season isn’t over yet, but preparations are beginning for next year’s events. Conversations for next year and 2011 business plans competitions have begun. Resources are being lined up at this time to allow for growth and expansion.

In terms of expansion we are still working on extending into Rockville. The first event is on track and the second event will start planning soon.

We are going to be planning next year’s schedule of themes and topics. Leverging off of this year’s popular themes and where the winds of change are moving us. The entrepreneurs are changing their focus, and so the forum will be change as well.

New initatives

June 9th will be the rockville talk to the angels.
Already companies have been applying.  the panelists have been invited, and it looks like it should be a good event for our soft launch in Rockville.
 
Volunteer dinner is coming up.
 
Already working on the business plan competition for next year,
 
Talking about the Gala as well.
 
And what else will be coming up from the volunteers for next season.
 
and as always, if you’re interested in joining up, just find someone with a board badge at one of our events, or badger whoever seems to be in charge, they’ll be happy for the help.
 

Met Morrison Foester at Capital Connection

Several of the lawyers were at capital connection for the past few days, it was good to catch up with then, and thanks go to them for hosting dinner on Tuesday night.

Cleanwater event

This was a full house tonight. A lot of interest in the topic. The panelists did a good job. But both clean india and spiralcat held the rapt attention of the audience.

There were a few technical problems, but that was my fault. Not the responsibility of the entrepreneurs.

All in all. I think the audience had a good time. The companies learned something and the panelists enjoyed themselves.

Cleantech Event tonight

The MABPC winner will be presenting, along with another local company Spiral Cat.
 
Both are in the business of cleaning water.
 
This should be an interesting discussion with a key focus on a vital concern.

New atttempt

Going to start blogging now, in order to help the volunteers and members know what is happening behind the scenes.

Right now, we are working on the May 19th event.
A possible Talk to the angels in June in VA
and one definite talk to the angels on June 9th in Rockville. The rockville event will be a biotechnology themed event.
June will also have our best of DC event. DC Discoveries.
