Detroit chapter of TiE is planning the second TiECon (TiE Conference) on Oct. 23 and 24 at the Ritz Carlton Dearborn. ‘The Indus Entrepreneurs (Tie)’ wants to be recognized as ‘Talent, Innovation, Entrepreneurship.’ TiE, the world's largest organization of entrepreneurs with 53 chapters in 12 countries, wants to play an active role in stimulating Michigan’s economy.
With that in mind, TiECon 2009 will feature selection of the 50 hottest startup companies in the classifications of software, wireless, clean tech, life sciences and media. There will also be a startup boot camp, a business plan competition and a women entrepreneurs forum. Session tracks will include Clean Tech, Health Care, IT and Emerging Markets.
TiECon expects to attract 1,000 participants and attendees as compared to 500 in the past year.
What Can TiE members do to make TiECon meet its goal? Here are some suggestions:
1. Spread the word
2. Contact media (Radio, TV, Newspaper, e-magazines) to publicize and cover the event
3. Contact effective business speakers to speak in TieCon sessions
4. Approach businesses and individuals to sponsor the event and/or buy display tables
5. Bring friends to TiECon
Feel free to use other means (other than mentioned above) to make TieCon a success. Please use your imagination and do not leave any stone unturned. That is what the entrepreneurial spirit is all about.
