This networking breakfast event will bring together public and private funders to engage with researchers, entrepreneurs, and others to discuss commercialization and financial resources.

Attendees will have the opportunity to join a table hosted by a representative from the government, private, or venture capital investment arena. Participating funders, accelerators and investors will discuss their different approaches to start-up and tech investments and answer attendee questions in this roundtable-style event.

Seating is first come first served, so arrive onsite early to select your table of choice!

COST: $70. An additional ticket for this event is required for ALL pass types. Only a limited number of tickets are available and will sell out.
