The Small Business Tech Expo will take place October 31 thru November 2, 2000 in Seattle, WA at the Meydenbauer Center - Bellevue. This Expo affords an unmatched opportunity for you to meet with, develop strategic partnerships and sell to thousands of small and emerging technology-based businesses, industry, and Government. These highly qualified decision makers will be looking for new technologies, business partnerships, consultant services, marketing and accounting expertise, and financing and investment opportunities.
The co-location of this event with 2 other major events provides a unique opportunity for you to have access to the full spectrum of resources and services. In order to interact with all these audiences, you would normally have to attend multiple shows or conferences. We've brought them all together and have put the Small Business Expo in the center of the action!
Over 4,000 technology managers, senior engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs are expected to attend the Small Business Technology Expo and other events of "Technology 2000," an alliance of three synergistic events that also includes Technology 2000 National Technology Conference, America's premier showcase of new and emerging technologies, sponsored by NASA and NASA Tech Briefs. The third event is the National Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Conference, the nation's largest source of early stage technology financing with over 1.2 Billion dollars in annual awards to small high-tech firms. A single badge will allow attendees access to all of the exhibits at no charge!
