AZ Entrepreneurship Conference – The Great Reset

November 16, 2010 By Jeff Moriarty Leave a Comment

Entrepreneurship has a mighty strong base in the Phoenix area, and the AZ Entrepreneurship Conference is an excellent sign of its health! In its fifth year, AZEC is focusing this time on the Great Reset:

In the Great Reset, some economies will come out stronger than before. According to Richard Florida, the long and deep recession from which we are emerging creates opportunities for change and innovation.

Has your business suffered? Have you been laid off? Are you trying to grow in a new environment?

Many great companies have been started during recessions — by laid off employees, by young people with guts, and by people who just want to pursue their dreams. Community and collaboration are essential, and that’s what we are about.

Here at the Fifth Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference (AZEC10) we’ve got your back. If you need help, it will be here.

They have an amazing array of insight and ideas on hand to help support the local business community. If you’re an entrepreneur, or have the spirit of one, register today!

Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference 2010

When: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (MT)

Where: Desert Willow Conference Center, 4340 Cotton Center Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85040

Announcing the Phoenix Innovation Foundation

June 15, 2009 By Jeff Moriarty Leave a Comment

We are proud to announce the launch of the Phoenix Innovation Foundation (PIF)! Our mission is to educate and foster the local Phoenix community through community-based art, science, and technology events.

There is an incredible number of great, free conferences, un-conferences, events, meetups, and groups across the Phoenix Metro Area, who all share some common challenges. PIF seeks to bring these groups together to leverage financial, legal, and logistical support. We are an Arizona non-profit, and are seeking Federal 501(c)(3) chartiable status.

We are just getting the ball rolling, but are thrilled to already be working with three big Valley events: PodcampAZ, IgnitePhoenix, and Geek Week AZ.
