A Chance to Celebrate With Xconomy and Meet the Xconomists

Xconomy is celebrating another great year for Colorado tech and life sciences companies with two special events next week that will bring together some of the leaders of Colorado’s software, IT, biotech, cleantech, and venture capital communities—and maybe you.

The events, our annual “Meet the Xconomists” receptions, are a chance to network, share ideas, and discuss the latest trends with some of the leading innovators in the state. It’s also a chance for us to say thank you to the Xconomists, our informal group of friends, supporters, advisors, and ambassadors.

We’re having two receptions this year. On Monday, October 20, we’ll be up in Boulder at the Techstars headquarters. The next night, we’re down in Denver at Galvanize.

Confirmed guests include Foundry Group managing director Seth Levine; Techstars managing director Nicole Glaros; Galvanize CEO Jim Deters; Grotech Ventures general partner Joe Zell; iTriage president Jim Greiner; Simple Energy CEO Yoav Lurie; Cloud Elements CEO Mark Geene; and 10.10.10 founder Tom Higley.

This year, we’re making a limited number of invitations available to our readers. If you’d like to request an invitation to either (or even both) receptions, please drop us an e-mail and tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. We’re looking for top entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and other leaders in Colorado’s innovation community. If you’re interested in Monday’s reception in Boulder the address to use is [email protected]. For Tuesday’s gathering in Denver, e-mail [email protected] instead. We hope to see you there!
