Austin's Green Job Task Force Report - Press Conference to be held at Tech and Job Expo
The big news this week is the decision by the Austin Chamber to hold a press conference announcing the release of the report of its Green Job Task Force at our event at 10:45 am. In connection with this press conference, we are now pleased to announce our second keynote presentation--a panel discussion of the Green Job Task Force Report and an update on the Pecan Street Project with members of the Task Force and representatives of the public and private sector partners in the Pecan Street Project.
In connection with these two events, we will have an executive level briefing and lunch where local business leaders can discuss the keynote topics with the speakers.
Finally, we will have a special pavilion area in our exhibit hall featuring Green Tech companies. If your company is involved in this industry, you should take advantage of our exhibition and sponsorship opportunities. Exhibition opportunities start at $299 for a table in the pavilion and $750 for a booth. To book a space, please contact Amy Garfield at agarfield@ardenmediaco.com.
In other developments:
- Ron Kifer, CIO of Applied Materials, has finalized his topic for the first keynote presentation of the day. He will present, "Managing Your Career in the Dynamic Technology Industry," in which he will discuss the growing trend of differentiation of core versus context work and the challenges and opportunities that creates for managing an IT career.
- We have identified the topic for our afternoon panel discussion on the gaming industry. Rodney Gibbs of Fizz Factor will moderate a panel of gaming industry heavyweights entitled, "Casual, Portable and Profitable -- Current Trends in Gaming and Mobile Apps."
