AlwaysOn is coming to DC

2009 is the inaugural year for OnDC – a conference that highlights the significant economic, political, and commercial trends affecting global innovation – running from October 19th – 21st. With a goal of identifying the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments, and uncovering how to best capitalize on government initiatives, OnDC focuses on the sectors most impacted by the federal government including greentech, on-demand computing and IT security, education, and the life sciences.

As an added bonus, this year, Brian Jones, Senior Counsel focusing on postsecondary education at Dow Lohnes (a SBX client) will be presenting on a panel entitled “Next Generation Education” with moderator Jay Matthews of the Washington Post. Other panelists include: Jeff Shelstad, CEO, Flat World Knowledge, Jose Ferreira, CEO, Knewton, Inc. and Saad Khan, Partner, CMEA Ventures. They will discuss new technologies that empower educators and walk the line between traditional teaching methods and new IT driven teaching tools. Their panel is on Tuesday October 20th at 5:00pm.

Hope to see you there…
