The 2011 BizTech Expo has added a new live event this year which is certain to be “creative.” Business Report has partnered with the Louisiana Technology Council to present a power breakfast Oct. 5, at Crowne Plaza, featuring keynote speaker Josh Linkner. Linkner is the New York Times best-selling author of Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity, which was named one of the top 30 business books of 2011. He is the CEO and Managing Partner of Detroit Venture Partners, a venture capital firm helping to rebuild urban areas through technology and entrepreneurship. Linkner is the founder, chairman and former CEO of ePrize, the largest interactive promotion agency in the world, providing digital marketing services for 74 of the top 100 brands. Tickets for the breakfast will go on sale Aug. 1.
The virtual BizTech Expo will happen Oct. 4-8, at BizTechExpo.com, for 100 hours online. All “live events,” including the breakfast and the Top 100 luncheon with economist Loren Scott, will take place on Oct. 5. “The LTC is once again proud to team up with Business Report in support of BizTech 2011,” says Mark Lewis, LTC president. “The LTC is pleased to co-host the new power breakfast event for the technology community, and we invite all users and producers of technology statewide to visit the virtual expo in October.” To pre-register for the expo visit BizTechExpo.com.
