Womble Working Sessions
THE NEW TECH DEAL: How IT Business is Changing in the 2009 Economy
Join us on September 23rd from 12:00-1:30 pm in Womble's Northern Virginia office for the first in a series of frank, open conversations among executives and venture investors from the Mid-Atlantic tech community as the region responds to effects of the tight economy. Lunch will be provided.
At the Womble Working Sessions, our goal is to facilitate participants' exchange of ideas and experience about the Mid-Atlantic tech market. No presentations, just a roll-up-your-sleeves discussion between executives who know what they're talking about. Our attorneys focus every day on deals in the IT and digital media industries. We'll share what we're currently seeing in the marketplace and will share successful commercial strategies we've seen work. But our primary job is to start the conversation among attendees, to listen more than speak, and to find ways to help you succeed in business.
Who will attend?
Executives and venture investors from the Mid-Atlantic technology and media industries, with industry-focused facilitation from advisers at the law firm, Womble Carlyle.
