2010 Door64 Tech Fair Attendee Registration

Tech Fair: What is it?
This event will showcase Central Texas technology companies, generating a great deal of exposure in our technology community, and helping you see the landscape of what's happening in our Central Texas high-tech scene. See what people said last year.
Why attend?
First, let's clarify: this is not a career fair. Most of the companies exhibiting are not hiring, so no need to bring your resume. Instead, this event is your single best chance to (a) discover what technology companies (including start-ups) exist in our local area, and (b) learn about their business & technology. This engagement is conducive to excellent one-on-one dialogue that is informative for both the attendee and company exhibiting. You both walk away more educated and better connected than you ever would have been electronically. You cannot replace face-to-face.
Beyond the exhibit area, we will hold informational sessions throughout the day which you may attend. The details of these are still being finalized. Stay tuned!
Who should attend?
Well, if you're a member of the door64 community, definitely! If you're a member of IEEE, ACM, local technical user groups, or any other professional engineering associations, you bet! If you're a member of the local investment and funding community, come on out! In other words, if you're involved in the Central Texas high-tech community from software to semiconductors, from biotech to cleantech, this is for you.
