SparkStart -- free bus from Conjunctured to Dallas

A full day of business and technology discussion, learning, and networking for Tech startups.

You can RSVP on this Eventbrite page: http://sparkstart.eventbrite.com/

The event is free to everyone, but space is limited.

SparkStart is taking place at the Microsoft Technology Center in Dallas, which is an incredible space and a sight to see -- major geekery, and tech that will make you drool.

BUS FROM AUSTIN TO DALLAS AND BACK!
Don't worry Austinites, you don't have to drive. MSFT has chartered a bus to take us from Conjunctured to Dallas and back again. I'm actually pretty excited about this -- the bus will arrive at Conj. 6:30am, leave at 7am... and will leave Dal shortly after the event is over... tho, I hear http://cohabitat.us is having an after party...

From the event website:

"SparkStart is a full day of business and technology discussion (open format) and learning event for startups (“startup bootcamp”). This event will also be a networking opportunity for those startups who are new to the BizSpark program and not yet enrolled in the program and would like to mingle and learn from key business and technology influencers. . .We will have 6 tracks (3 business, 2 technology, and one demo) on key business topics such as “Funding”, “Marketing”, and “Production”. Each business track will feature a panel of business experts. Panel members from the business community and moderators are experts in their field, both from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and from all over Texas that include bootstrappers, venture capitalists, incubators, and consulting."
