We are rounding out a great week at beyondallspace with two technology networking events.
Tonight I'm lending my dealing services to the Smart Bet Charity Poker Tournament. Smartbet's aim is to raise money for these causes-
i.c. stars: Providing internships and education in technology and leadership.
Future Founders: The Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center’s Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative.
Chicago Communities in Schools: Helping Chicago Public School students and their families connect with possibility.
I was told about the event by Fred Hoch, the President of the ITA (Illinois Technology Association), whose mission statement is as follows:
"ITA exists to promote the information technology community and help Illinois member businesses succeed by providing networking, advocacy, resources and leadership. The association is completely member driven and comprised of the best companies in the state that create, deploy or utilize information technology as a core part of their business. From entrepreneurs to the largest corporations in Illinois, the ITA is where collaboration happens."
Tomorrow I will be attending one of the great ITA sponsored events that is being hosted by Terry Howerton and Fastroot. The event is called Tech-Nexus and is an invite-only networking event for about 100 or so technology execs. I attended the event last month and it was extremely beneficial. tomorrow should be a great opportunity to interface with more Chicago technology players.
