This week is jam-packed with cool stuff! I hope you can find an event or two that interests the entrepreneur in you!
Top Picks
Tuesday Evening, Startup Grind hosts Mark Haney, the host of the Entrepreneurs Unlimited Saturday morning radio program and a successful entrepreneur himself. If you haven’t yet met this Sacramento region gem, be sure to come out to The Urban Hive, starting at 6 pm on 10/11. Register in advance and save a few bucks; save even more when you use “digest” in the promo code field!
Wednesday morning, 1 Million Cups Sacramento is hosting a Cleantech edition. There will be two cleantech companies presenting and the audience will get an update on CleanStart, a recently rebooted (SARTA) program that supports the growth of the cleantech sector in our region.
Freebie of the Week
InnoGrove is hosting a free workshop Wednesday evening, SEO Fundamentals For Startups. If your startup has a website (who doesn’t?!) and you want potential customers to find you, you NEED to come to this class! Trust me, you’ll learn something you can apply immediately to increase traffic to your site.
Best Event Title Award
I had to giggle while reading this one: From Pharma to Fork: Yolo County, GMOs & The Future of Your Food. It turns out that my good friend Scott Eggert thought up that one! Anyhoo — head to Sudwerk in Davis on Friday night for good beer and a lively discussion about GMOs and food production.
Plan Ahead
Next Monday, Hacker Lab is hosting a free Demo Night for all the projects created during Intel’s Summer of IoT (that’s “Internet of Things” for those of you not hip to the jargon). Projects include smart robots, control systems, sensor networks that help consumers and business in a variety of industries, home automation, elderly care devices, Aquaponics, artists, and more! You don’t need to find a babysitter or cook dinner — this is a youth-friendly event and they’re serving pizza!
TAKE NOTE: Early Bird pricing for Startup Weekend Sacramento (happening Nov 11-13) ends on Saturday. Save $24 by signing up before then. Save EVEN MORE (another 35%) by using promo code “digest” when you sign up!
