Program
Now that the economy is stabilizing, there is $68 billion in venture capital
financing available for entrepreneurial businesses according to the American
Venture Capital Exchange. The question everyone is asking is "Where will it
be spent?" The June 2 program will explore the likely places the money will
be invested for the benefit of entrepreneurs and others who want to be ahead of
the curve in following the hottest new technologies and trends.
UTD has requested that all attendees check in at the
Security booth on University Pkwy. (North of Campbell Road). Alternatively, if
you pre-register you will get a parking pass eMailed to you.
Parking at the South Engineering building: After
getting your parking pass at the guard station, turn left at Drive A, and then a
left into Lot J (Activity Center). The South Engineering Building is across the
street. Park at the Conference Center if Lot J is full. There also is limited
parking in Lot K (which is east of the South Engineering Building) but please
note, the parking pass does not excuse you from paying the meter.
