Input Needed: door64 Tech Fair for Companies

Posted by: William W. (Woody) Williams

door64 is an Austin, TX based high-tech forum, resource, supporter, proponent, and community. The mission over at door 64, in brief, is "door64 is community of over 4000 Central Texas high-tech professionals. We're all about helping you become more well-connected with your industry peers and with the local high-tech scene." You can read The door64 Manifesto for more and I suggest you do.

The founder of door64 is Matt Genovese. You can view Matt's LinkedIn profile, and I suggest you do, by clicking the link on his name. You can read more (do it) about the founding of door64 -- and the reason for the name -- on the Mission page.

door64 does a lot in the way of providing, supporting, and promoting events. The latest concept is a good one -- a "Tech Fair" for companies to show off their latest and greatest high-tech toys. It's still in the concept phase but won't be for long. Here's the scoop from Matt.

"This will be an engineering trade show where local tech companies (from big companies to start-ups) come out to show off what they are doing from a technical / engineer's perspective. It is different from a job fair. Rather, it is a way to gain exposure in the local tech community, and help the tech community find you. What you do with that exposure is up to you, depending on your company's current goals (hiring, sales, investment, etc.)."

"The plan is to hold this event on the same date/location as the IEEE 125th Anniversary / Austin Brain Party held in Austin, Texas on Thursday, April 30th. That party happens in the evening, and this Tech Fair would lead up to it in the very same space. The exact times of this day time Tech Fair are not yet solidified, but it would lead into the Brain Party."

Matt and the door64 community are seeking input from interested companies about the scope and format of the proposed event. If your company is interested in participating -- getting some good PR, meeting potential customers or financial backers... maybe some local talent as well -- there is a quick form for your input. If you know of someone at your or another company that might get interested -- pass this along.
