Startups: Get Free Tickets to Influx on June 22, Thanks to NEVCA

Our big June conference Influx is just three weeks away. The event was inspired by the influx of newcomers to the Boston innovation community—and we have an amazing array of fresh faces and new companies taking part. But we’d also love to have an influx of startup companies in attendance—and now, courtesy of the New England Venture Capital Association, we have a block of 10 complimentary startup tickets to give away to help make that possible.

Don’t miss your chance to get in on the action for this great afternoon event on June 22 at the Science Museum. You can find the event details here—and the agenda here. Among our speakers are MIT’s Fiona Murray; Akamai CEO Tom Leighton; Neal Sandy from GE Ventures; Kevin Starr from Third Rock Ventures; Watson Health’s Anne LeGrand; and serial entrepreneurs Dave Balter, Steve Papa, David Edwards, and David Chang.

And those are just a few of those who will be sharing their insights and new adventures on stage. To reserve your complimentary ticket, simply e-mail [email protected] with the following information:

—Your Name

—Title

—Company

One caveat: these tickets are reserved for companies less than three years old with 20 or fewer employees, and are for new registrations—if you already have a ticket, it cannot be exchanged for a free one, but hopefully you have a friend or colleague who can grab a free one. And, given the limited number of tickets, we ask that if you claim a ticket, you use it or pass it along to a colleague who can.

We hope to see you on the afternoon of June 22 at the Science Museum.
