Let's PoweConnect

Business by definition needs interaction with other entities, such as customers, investors, and middle men. Business people and entrepreneurs rely on a network of connections and business relationships. Though even a casual encounter with someone influential or a person in the right place may lead to a business idea or a deal, the toughest part for any entrepreneur may be to find and connect with such a person.
That is where PowerConnect comes into play. TiECon Midwest 2009 (on October 23 and 24 at The Ritz-Carlton, Dearborn, Michigan) plans to present that needed connection to the existing and aspiring entrepreneurs with the motto,” “Remember it's not just what you know but who you know that makes the difference”

PowerConnect attendees can expect the following benefits from the session:

1. Direct access to TiECon speakers, industry luminaries, and TiE Charter Members who have a track record of success in that segment
2. Opportunity to find funding, make partnerships, build a team
3. Opportunity to attend PowerConnect sessions throughout the year
4. Inclusion in LinkedIn groups for networking/advice/mentoring beyond TiECon
5. Opportunity to make 50+ valuable segment specific contacts

All of this may seem rather intuitive, but TiE is endeavoring to help the entrepreneurs in a way that they have never been helped before by providing instant relationships with people who can really help and influence others. It is important to learn how to approach the right customer with the right message at the right time. That’s when the right connections come into play.

“Special Registration is required for all participants, including TiE Charter Members. Each session is designed to deliver more than its value of $50 per day. PowerConnect is not recommended for recruiters, students and others interested in general networking for whom TiECon Midwest 2009 will offer tremendous networking opportunities.”

All of networked humanity mingles in the vast marketplace, trading information, creating alliances, doing favors. We may not think of our connections in such mercantile terms. But for business and individuals alike, the power of connection is immense. So let us PowerConnect.
