BizTechDay

If you followed my tweet, you’d know that we had a blast last Thursday in NYC with the Pre-BizTechDay Launch event.  The founder of BizTechDay and I are both enthusiastic social media fans.  Coincidentally, we happen to run two separate entrepreneur Meetup groups as well – The San Francisco Entrepreneur Meetup Group & NY Entrepreneurs Business Network.  Since I like Edith’s deeds very much in helping business owners succeed via social media, thought I’d write a post about this year’s BizTechDay conference which is scheduled to take place on October 22 & 23 in San Francisco, CA.

What’s BizTechDay?

Each year, 1200+ business icons, renowned thought leaders and enthusiastic entrepreneurs connect, educate and inspire each other over two days sharing the most practical business strategies and innovative technology tools to launch and grow their business.  BizTechDay has now formed a community where like-minded entrepreneurs gather, share ideas, and develop their business using the latest technology.  To find out more about BizTechDay, visit its official website.  Follow BizTechDay on Twitter @BizTechDay.

Watch the Comcast interview clip below where Edith talks about the idea behind BizTechDay:

Who Is Coming to BizTechDay This Year?

Last year (2008), BizTechDay featured Tim Ferris (Author of 4 Hour Work Week), Scott Heiferman (Founder of Meetup.com), George Wright (VP of Marketing of Blentec), etc.

Here’s the list of this year’s keynote speakers:

• Porter Gale – VP Marketing at Virgin America
• Michael Gerber – World’s No 1 Small Business Guru per Inc Magazine and the New York Times Best Selling Author of the E-Myth
• Matt Mullenweg – Founder of WordPress
• Kevin Hartz – Paypal Angel Investor
• Fabio Rosati – CEO of Elance
• Joel Comm – Creator of iFart iPhone App – Over 1 Million downloads
• Gary Swart – CEO of oDesk
• Mark O’Leary – Regional VP for Business Services for Comcast
• Randy Williams, Founder of Keiretsu Forum. The World’s largest angel investor network – over $180m invested in 200 companies
• Chris Larsen – Founder of Prosper.com
• Michelle Broderick – Director of Marketing at Yelp
• Alison Covarrubias – Founder & CEO of Hatch Network
• Julie Castro Abrams – CEO of Women’s Initiative
• Justin Kan – Founder of Justin.TV
• Ramon Ray – Chief Editor of SmallBizTechnology.com
• And 40+ more thought leaders and successful entrepreneurs

Frankly, there are a lot of speakers there I am happy with.

In the future, I would expect to see more ideas like this taking place, as more business owners would need help with the use of technology. As always, I am firmly standing behind such kind of ideas.  In the end, it’s all about creating a community where people can support each other.  If you’d like to learn more about this year’s conference, go to BizTechDay.com.
