The Impact Global Venture Summit is back! The summit, happening June 19 at Golden 1 Center, is a day-long exhibition focused on the innovation and regulation of emerging technologies. Attendees will gain insights on the potential impact of foundation technologies, hands-on demonstrations of early applications, and access to the real innovators and policymakers shaping their adoption in our markets and communities. A full day of Epic Office Hours for Entrepreneurs will also be offered at the event. And as always, this event will be a great opportunity to rub elbows with Silicon Valley/SF investment capital! We’ve got a “SUPER EARLY BIRD” price for you too! Just use this link to get $10 off the early bird registration fee of $35.
Are you ready to launch that idea you’ve been dreaming about for years? Have you thought about kick-starting it at a Startup Weekend? Maybe you didn’t know that Startup Weekend comes in different flavors. If you have an Education idea (EdTech, etc.) or an idea that supports sustainability, there are Startup Weekends coming up designed just for you! Startup Weekend Inclusive Education is happening June 7th-9th in San Jose. Global Startup Weekend Sustainable Revolution is happening June 21st-23rd in Sacramento. Stop talking about your idea and take some action! Registration details for both are in the events list below.
