Showcase Mission


To provide a platform for exchange, investment and alliance building between local emerging growth companies and Fortune 1000, Nasdaq 100, International 200, and other companies in technology (e-commerce / internet, software, telecommunications, computers / peripherals, multimedia, etc.).

The Entrepreneurial Showcase provides companies (no service providers), seeking equity funding or strategic alliances, with two registrations, and a pipe-and-drape exhibit space with draped table in a designated area.  This area will provide the participants an opportunity to showcase their company to panelists and other investors throughout the conference.  All breaks and receptions will be held in the designated Company Showcase area.  We anticipate 25 companies to exhibit at the Innovation Showcase.

• Companies that can benefit from the investment of or from the interaction with corporate entities or corporate development personnel.
• Companies seeking next level financial support or strategy.
• Companies with revenue, up to $25 million, that have a product or service with a significant technology component.

Education	All Showcase companies can participate in an advance professional workshop about maximizing your opportunity to present to corporate investment and alliance executives; typical term sheet information, and much more.
Mentoring	Each Showcase company will be matched with a “mentor” from the G2I committee who will work with you before, during and after the conference to understand your business objectives and help you achieve them by making the appropriate introductions, referrals and connections.
