We are excited to announce the first EEX Annual Entrepreneurs' Summit. The summit will be focused on the brainstorming phase in the life cycle of a venture and will feature all-star keynote speakers, diverse panels, a Cool Product Expo (presented by 12 freshly minted NY startups), a mingling cocktail with an open bar and more! Come meet the people behind the exciting venture ecosystem forming these days in NY.
Speakers and panelists include:
Keynote Speakers
Seth Godin - Entrepreneur, best selling author and an agent of change
Seth has written 13 books that have been translated into more than 30 languages. Every one has been a bestseller. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything.
American Way Magazine calls him, "America's Greatest Marketer," and his blog is perhaps the most popular in the world written by a single individual. His latest book, Poke The Box is a call to action about the initiative you're taking - in your job or in your life, and Seth once again breaks the traditional publishing model by releasing it through The Domino Project.
Chris Dixon - Co-Founder: SiteAdvisor, Hunch, Founder Collective
Chris Dixon is one of the prominent figures comprising the NY venture scene. Chris is currently the co-founder and CEO of Hunch. Previously, Chris was the co-founder and CEO of SiteAdvisor that was acquired by McAfee.
Chris is a personal investor in early-stage technology companies, including Skype, TrialPay, DocVerse, Invite Media, Gerson Lehrman Group, ScanScout, OMGPOP, BillShrink, Oddcast, Panjiva, Knewton, and a handful of other startups that are still in stealth mode.
