April 11 press conference & networking celebration!

You’re invited to join TEDxAsheville and Venture Asheville on April 11 at 6:00 p.m. for a joint presentation and press conference. The event will be held at the U.S. Cellular Center Ballroom (accessible through the U.S. Cellular Center main lobby). Come early and plan to stay after to network!

The press conference presentation will feature:
• A TEDxAsheville 2012 forecast and a recap of the inspirations gleaned from TEDActive 2012, an event that enables attendees to watch the live-hosted TED2012 program in a comfortable space then discuss the presentations with other passionate people
• An introduction to Venture Asheville, the new branding for the Asheville entrepreneur initiative from the Asheville-Buncombe Economic Development Coalition. Venture Asheville recently partnered with several local and national businesses at SXSW in Austin, TX in an effort to showcase the best of Asheville’s entrepreneur scene. Several representatives will be on hand to discuss the value and relevancy of the SXSW efforts and what it means to entrepreneurial development in Asheville.
• A question-and-answer session with panelists from TEDxAsheville and Venture Asheville to discuss the social impact of big ideas on the Asheville community.

We’ll see you there!
