Today is the Innovation Summit

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by David Castor
The TechPoint Innovation Summit 2009 is finally here.  I have been looking forward to this event this year (which has not necessarily been the case in past years). 

This year's focus is more tailored to helping seed and emerging stage Indiana technology companies pursue excellence in developing their innovation, marketing their innovation and seeking funding for their innovation.  As an Indiana tech lawyer these topics hit right at heart of the needs I have wrestled through with my clients.  

I am moderating the plenary panel this afternoon on Funding Innovation in Indiana.  The panel includes representatives from angel investor groups, private equity firms, and state sponsored innovation grant organizations.

Clayton Christensen is the keynote speaker at lunch.  I just finished reading his book The Innovator's Dilemma - a "how to" book on business development for innovation companies.

My firm is hosting a booth at the event.  Also, keep an eye out for Iasta, who will be hosting a booth near ours.
