Friday — A free luncheon with limited seating—30 registrants—at the Louisiana Technology Park will focus on the topic of “crowdfunding,” says Jesse Hoggard, director of communications. Beginning in 2013, new legislation known as the JOBS Act will make it legal to raise up to $1 million in equity in a “crowdsourced” round, meaning smaller amounts from non-accredited investors. The technology park will provide details on the new legislation and what it can mean for local business. The luncheon is from noon to 1 p.m. at 7117 Florida Blvd. To register, contact Genevieve Silverman at gen@latechpark.com.
Saturday — An all-day, free training event on software—including Microsoft SQL Server, Development and SharePoint, spread out over multiple tracks of Business Intelligence, Database Administration, IT Pro and .NET development—will be held at the Business Education Complex on the LSU campus. Attendee check-in will begin at 7 a.m., with the first sessions beginning at 8:30 a.m. Click here for complete details and registration.
