Tips for Expanding Your Network at TiEcon 2011

This Friday and Saturday we celebrated our largest entrepreneurs event of the year: TiEcon 2011. We have over 3,300 registered attendees and 143 speakers! Our speaker line up this year is extraordinary. Recently we've announced 2 new keynotes: Marissa Mayer (Google) and Drew Houston (Dropbox). In addition to the inspiring keynotes and breakthrough sessions, here are some tips to make the most of your time while at the conference.

Networking Made Easy

Unparalleled networking has consistently been one of the top reasons to attend TiEcon. This year we have introduced two new programs to take it to the next level:

Networking with legends and leaders:

We have introduced a new program this year called "Mentor Connect". It will give you the opportunity to meet face to face with top entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors. We urge you to pre-register for this unique and invaluable opportunity as the space is limited. For more about MentorConnect, click here.

Networking with fellow attendees:

We are proud to announce a new networking platform, Presdo-match this year. Using this platform you can:

See who's attending TiEcon and set up meetings with them ahead of time
Communicate with other attendees easily and securely
Sign up for networking events

It only takes a minute! You should have received an invitation to join the networking platform after registering. If you didnot receive the invitation email, click here, then select the 'Get your welcome email' button.

Networking in our Innovation Expo:

This year's Innovation Expo is our largest yet. You will see over 120 exhibitors including companies like IBM, Microsoft, Symantec and many hot startups including SmrtGuard, Stoke, Luna Ergnomics, Claritics, Glassbeam, Sococo, Shankar Mahadevan Academy and many more from technology sectors of Mobile, Internet/Social Media, Software/Cloud, Energy, and Life Sciences.

Our Expo hall layout makes it easy for you to find your area of interest and meet with potential partners, clients, and employers in these fields.
