NVBC 2009 Sneak Peek – New Seminar Series!

For everyone who’s contacted me about the 2009 competition – thank you for your interest!

NVBC 2009 gets rolling in March. Right now, I’m working behind the scenes with Bob de Wit and the NVBC board of directors on rules, sponsors, schedules, and all that extra stuff needed to ensure a smooth competition. We’re also moving the entire site over to WordPress in March and making some improvements to the site navigation (and yes, the font will be bigger!).

However, one piece of news I can share now is that our annual seminar series is expanding to a 9-week seminar package. We’ve restructured a couple topics and added a seminar on “Perfecting your Pitch.” NVBC will also offer additional seminars in the series throughout different regions of Province, in partnership with our title sponsor, the British Columbia Innovation Council.

Now, here’s a sneak peek at the 2009 seminar series schedule. Speakers and location TBA shortly.

    These sound great. I’ve been trying to track all local tech events and help showcase everything that’s going on. The VEF is already putting events on Upcoming.org (see http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/305703/).

    Would it be possible for you to enter these events in Upcoming so that we can help make sure that events don’t overlap?

    Let me know what else I can do to help promote!
