| Entrepreneurship is back, big time. Partly it’s been because the economy’s recovered. But the likes of Facebook, Google, Groupon, and Living Social have inspired massive new interest and excitement in the world of American technology. The Washington region hasn’t seen so much white-hot activity, especially among young people, since the dot com days of the 90s.
Continuing our new event series, founders and investors in one of the hottest areas - Cloud Computing - will join us to discuss this red-hot space. What's new, what's next, where are the opportunities and what does the future look like?
Entrepreneurs: This event is a resource for technology entrepreneurs and company founders. Come learn how to build grow and launch your business from the perspective of those who've done it before!
