Don't Miss TiE Midwest's "Great Chicago Tech Debate" on January 23rd
Posted on January 13th, 2006

Join TiE Midwest for our kick-off to the 2006 program year. Our first event will be "The Great Chicago Tech Debate", held on Monday, January 23.

Chicagoland is home to a number of varying initiatives to support entrepreneurs. The groups that provide assistance are well positioned to comment on the current state of entrepreneurship and what is needed to create more success stories in our region. This session will help clarify how the different initiatives fit together and also discuss where some gaps may still exist.

Join us for a candid discussion on the various programs, resources and support networks available to entrepreneurs at all stages of development.

Gardner Carton and Douglas (GCD) will be our hosts and provide hot appetizers and refreshments for the evening. Seating will be limited, so make sure to RSVP early! Please note: registration for our last 2 events were closed early and walk-ins were not allowed.
