What IS next in Tech? I’ll find out Thursday.

June 24, 2009



A while back I signed up to attend the What’s Next in Tech event at Boston University. The line-up of folks speaking was impressive and I thought it might be a nice networking event. Turns out, people are still signing up, so the night could prove to be one of the best of the year.

And that’s considering that this week I rubbed elbows with Alex Howard, Chris Brogan, Jack Nicholson, David Armano, Peter Kim and David Cutler.

Here’s the lineup for the BU event…

A networking reception will be held from 6:00-7:00pm followed by the program at 7:00pm. Speakers will include:

Michael Greeley, General Partner, Flybridge Capital Partners
Mike Dornbrook, COO, Harmonix Music Systems (makers of “Rock Band”)
Helen Greiner, co-founder of iRobot Corp. and founder of The Droid Works
Brian Halligan, social media expert and CEO of HubSpot
Tim Healy, CEO of EnerNOC
Ellen Rubin, Founder & VP/Product of CloudSwitch
Bijan Sabet, General Partner, Spark Capital
Neil Sequiera, Managing Director, General Catalyst Partners

The conversation will be moderated by Scott Kirsner, Innovation Economy columnist at The Boston Globe.

I think there’s still room, so here’s the INVITE.

Hope to see you there. Here are the names already on the attending list…
