Monday, December 18: Debut Night and Open Mic

http://www.sdforum.org/SDForum/Templates/CalendarEvent.aspx?CID=2093

Here's the Start-up SIG's second Debut Night, where attendees can present their new products and services and receive feedback from their peers. If you have something to demo, great -- we'd like to see it. If you want to practice a short pitch, great -- we'd like to hear it. It can be your VC pitch, a biz dev or sales pitch, or something similar.

We'll take up to 4 presenters for a 15-minute slot, meaning 5-10 minutes for a presentation and the rest for Q&A. At the end we'll have an open mic, when anyone can have a minute or two to pitch whatever they'd like.

Email me (nancy_tubbs@fullcalendar.com) to apply for the 4 big spots; sign up on the wiki (below) for the open mic spots.
