TechBoise Event Round Up
Well, if you were there you know that the TechBoise event on Wednesday at the Water Cooler was a winner! It all seems to be coming together for this nascent group. The event was the largest ever with over 50 people in attendance, pizza and beer provided by Mark Solon of Highway 12 Ventures, and three presenters that gave brief pitches about the technology they are developing for the mobile market. This all comes on the heels of the biggest week ever for the blog. Readership and RSS subscriptions are at an all time high!
For the recap - T-sheets, Push Mobile Media and Mobile Data Force talked about their successes and failures, their goals, and working in Boise. It is incredible to see the level of innovation that is happening here, and the excitement pouring from the entrepreneurs that congregate at the TechBoise events.
Now is the time when I wish I had better chops as a society reporter. Let me tell you who was there in case you weren’t - I saw bigwigs from Commerce (Don Dietrich and Brian Dickens); CEOs a plenty - Ryan Woodings (metageek), the Tricycle Team, J. Glerum (Check a Biz), Geroge Seybold (Seybold Scientific), Leo Geis (Idaho Airships), Rick Ritter (Idaho TechConnect); there were corporate types there too - Tac Anderson (HP) of course and others; as noted Mark Solon of Highway 12 represented the VC crowd. I saw Steve Nipper IP law guru kicking about (have we protected all the TechBoise assets, Steve??).
I know lots of you were following the live tweets from the event, and Pronetos CMO Wyatt Werner has some pictures that I know he is going to send me to post. If you missed the Tweet stream, Josh James massive SEO/SEM guru compiled them all here. Here are all the tweets related to the event, according to a fast Google site search (since as Brian Harrison pointed out we weren’t organized enough to use the #tag).
What’s on tap for the next TechBoise?? How about some suggestions people? We seem to have a real SEO/SEM capacity building here - maybe something on that. When I’m out in town I also am seeing some cool eGov stuff happening. Leave a comment and we’ll get another rousing rendition of TechBoise brought to you soon.
Hey! Where’s my backlink?
Here’s the link to all of the tweets related to the TechBoise event…
Thanks for the mention. I’ll have a better handle on the next TB meet-up; web 3.0 style.
OK. I went in and put Josh’s tweet link in there and stuck in a link to http://jtree.net. My bad, bro!
It WAS a terrific event. Excellent job, Tac, Mark, and all the TechBoise et als. It is most encouraging to see and feel the energy around Boise’s entre-tech community. Of course that energy has always been there, but TechBoise bottles it into one location where it feeds on itself.
