TiEcon 2006 was a show not to be missed. TiE stands for The Indus Entrepreneur. Being Indian however is not a requirement for attendees and if you are shy you shouldn’t be. The atmosphere was very welcoming and open. It was even a good opportunity for some cultural exposure.

Excellent speakers included John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Guy Kawasaki, Sashi Tharoor, and Larry Brilliant. Topics not only covered entrepreneurship but world affairs such as poverty, health, and environment. My personal favorite was Guy Kawasaki. The most entertaining speaker of the show with some of the best advice.

Networking was an important theme for the show as well. Plenty of people were buzzing around with smiles ready to engage in conversation. This show is mandatory for anyone who would like to meet fellow entrepreneurs and people who can help each other.

I will be attending next year after this great experience and I recommend this event to anyone who would like industry exposure or has interest in entrepreneurship. If you have any questions, please email me and I would be more then happy to provide additional info.
