If you’re weary of only interacting with the startup community from your sofa, there are some big in-person events on the horizon. On October 7, the Impact Global Venture Summit will be held at the newly remodeled Safe Credit Union Convention Center in Downtown Sacramento. In addition to a full day’s focus on innovation with investors, thought-leaders and startups, the event features Epic Office Hours — an opportunity for startups to pitch their ideas and get invaluable feedback from, investors and subject matter experts. You must have an event admission ticket to participate in Epic Office Hours plus you must sign up here. Use code STARTUPSAC for $10 off your admission price! Learn more/register here.
On October 12 & 13, travel north to Chico for growTECH Fest 2021. This 2-day entrepreneurial conference will bring together startups, investors, entrepreneurs, techies, students, educators, business owners and community leaders to educate, inspire and connect! Held at the historic El Ray Theater in Downtown Chico, Learn more/register here.
Event organizers tell me that COVID-10 safety protocols will be in place and masks will be mandatory at both of these events. However neither is requiring (at this time) proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result.
