The stereotype
of Buffalo is that it is a town filled with blue collar lunch bucket factory workers
with a love of chicken wings and Canadian Beer. Well, the wings and beer thing
is true, but Buffalo is also home to a growing and thriving new economy. BTEC
is a networking event at which larger companies can show the way to success; mid-level
companies can reach out to new customers, find talent, locate real estate; and
smaller companies that are just starting out can look for investors or just share
their plans. BTEC
will be interactive, with questions coming in from the online community via text
and Twitter, as well as from on-site attendees, and the whole event will be streamed
online via BuffaloHomecoming.com, wnymedia.net, and ustream.tv. When it's over,
each presentation will be uploaded to dozens of viral video sites to spread the
word about Buffalo's business future. Speakers
are the CEOs of Western New York's 20 most innovative IT, web, SaaS, design, and
media companies in Buffalo and Western New York. | Company
