BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Alternative Funding Returns! DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"Alternative Funding Returns!" Technology Council. Our 2005 panel on Alternative Funding was such a hit, we have created a follow-on event. On Thursday, August 10th, we present three leading experts on how small businesses can fund growth and development. The first part of the program will be a mini workshop on funding through government grants and the SBA. Once we have laid the foundation, you will be able to interact with our panel of experienced financing executives and entrepreneurs to learn the “ins and outs” of both alternative funding sources. Panel includes Lynn Foster, Greenberg Traurig; Eric Speer, Vencore; Jim Taylor, Silicon Valley Bank; moderated by Benjamin Kuo, socalTECH.com.
