Jan Norman, OC Register
Blogger, recommends TiECon Southwest:
TiE conference brings Disney and
Facebook together
September 11th, 2007
posted by Jan Norman
The
Indus Entrepreneurs, a group of Indian and Pakistani business
people, will have both Disney International President Andy Bird and
Facebook co-founder Sean Parker as speakers at their TiECon
Southwest conference this Saturday at the Doubletree Hotel in
Anaheim.
It’s
open to all entrepreneurs.
I
recommend the Entrepreneurship 101 panel at 9:15 a.m. that will
include Sid Mohasseb whose OC-based Venture Farm invests in very
early stage firms, David Saad, who just launched Clupedia.com in
Santa Ana, and John Lown of one of the biggest manufacturers of food
storage products, Snapware, formerly of Fullerton. I’ve interviewed
them all for the Orange County Register, and they all have great
insight into starting and growing companies.
Register here before Friday and save $10 to $20 ($50 for students to
$155 for nonTiE members).
For reminders when new
information is available at the Jan Norman on Small Business blog,
send a request to jnorman@ocregister.com.
