New to 2010 - Higher Octane PowerConnect sessions: Our exclusive PowerConnect sessions were packed to capacity last year, with long lines waiting to get in. We are introducing a NEW discussion-reception format to ensure the highest possible quality of networking, and NEW PowerConnect sessions for the BioSciences track. Immediately following the structured PowerConnect discussion, attendees will head to an exclusive Power reception to have a relaxed social hour. Additionally, this year we are pre-approving PowerConnect attendees to ensure best fit for optimum networking.
Special Registration is required for all participants, including TiE Charter Members. Power Connect is not recommended for recruiters, students and others interested in general networking for whom TiEcon 2010 will offer tremendous networking opportunities. Attend a PowerConnect session in the same focus segment on both days to maximize your deep-dive in that segment, or if your interests span two segments then attend two different PowerConnect sessions over two days. Each session is designed to deliver more than its value of $100 per day. The total price for attending a PowerConnect session on both days is $150. Sign up here.
