Hi, I am looking to find out the level of interest from companies to see if anyone is interested in attending this years ANZA Technology Conference in Palo Alto California. The conference will run from November 13-16th, 2005 and is aimed at companies either with a presence in the US or looking to enter the US market.
Part of the programme this year will be a bootcamp to prepare companies before they depart for the show, which will be held on October 3 in Christchurch. Criteria for selection will include market readiness and strength of value proposition. The conference does not directly focus on deal making but rather on the relevance of networking and making the relevant contacts in the market.
