Jevon nailed it.
The most important part of any conference is in how you meet other people who are attending, and this is a great chance to get a head start on that.
StartupEmpire sold out last Monday. We’ve been working with my gang at Microsoft BizSpark to build an additional opportunty for people to come together, meet the people attending, the people building new startups, and get a head chance to network your faces off.
Purchase a BizSpark After 6pm Ticket to gain access for dinner and drinks with attendees, speakers, sponsors and others in the community. The tickets are $10 each and include access to the networking event and 2 drinks tickets.
Boys, I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I am in NYC for a conference we committed to sponsoring at the beginning of the year. I believe this is the start of something great. Techcrunch helped destroy the ecosystem by constantly reporting on ridiculous “cool” companies, as opposed to real start-ups with a real plan. You are now filling a void the entire market needed.
You may be starting out in Toronto but this has the potential to spread throughout North America over the next couple of years. To this end, you can count on AGORACOM support for future events.
Regards,
George

Remember back to the original “announcement” of Bizspark on Startupnorth, I ask you to recall a statement from the post:
“In case you are wondering, no: this is not a pay-to-play post. Nobody from Microsoft asked me to write it. I believe this program stands on its own.”
And now this event, directly tied to Startupempire…. I am MOST APPRECIATIVE of all activities to bring together the community, and believe in the sponsorship model, and Microsoft is most assuredly a gracious sponsor of Startupempire, but if you are going to brag about impartiality, there should be impartiality.
Chloe: It is important to point out that you are drawing a link that doesn't exist. This post is blatantly for the Microsoft BizSpark sponsored event, nobody is hiding that.
My previous post was one I made to help inform people about BizSpark because I think it is a good program.
So, I am not sure what to say, but I will also point out that I have never once claimed to be impartial. I am absolutely not impartial. I leave that to professionals.
