Startup Houston

The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship is a flagship Houston program designed to showcase both technologies and entrepreneurs from the Greater Houston Region through educational workshops, venture forums and the national recognized Business Plan Competition. Every event is well attended and manages to attract the best and brightest minds year after year.

I recognize that I am a little late on getting this out, but wanted to provide everyone with the upcoming schedule of events for the Rice Alliance:

• 9th Annual Rice Alliance Kick-Off Celebration: Thursday, August 28, 2008, 5:30 - 8:30 p.m.
• 6th Annual Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum: Thursday, September 25, 2008, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
• 6th Annual IT & Web 2.0 Venture Forum: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

• 7th Annual Life Science Technology Venture Forum: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

The best way to make a point of being at each event is to become a Rice Alliance member, like me. I like all of the events, personally, but would rank the clean tech and nanotech as ones not to miss. See you there!
