High Tech OKC OpenBeta Conference

By

Derrick Parkhurst (Thirty Sixth Span) is organizing a cool high tech event in Oklahoma City, the OpenBeta Conference.

OpenBeta is for technology professionals, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, and investors based in central Oklahoma who are interested in:

Online Technologies | Web 2.0 | Social Media | Entrepreneurism | Business Startups | Social Networking | Viral Marketing | Blogging | Podcasting | Crowd Sourcing | Web Design | Software Development | Internet Activism | Information Security and Privacy

The goal,  “exposing ideas and creating opportunities by connecting smart, passionate and motivated people with different talents,” is classic networking among entrepreneurs. Love it!

This will be on October 30, 2008, from 7-10pm at the IAO Gallery in Oklahoma City. They will start with a tech demo session, where community members will setup laptops and show off their innovative projects. Then the main session of the event will focus on lightning fast presentations given by community members on their innovative ideas and projects.

Maybe I should sign up to do a lightning presentation on social media, or maybe the checklist for starting a business. Hmmm….

Highlight Midwest sounds similar, for the Kansas City area, October 29, 2008. Thanks to Grant Griffiths for pointing it out to me.

What are the similar events in your area? Have you been to one like this? What was the best take-away?
