Will there be any presentations for existing web service companies or is it strictly 1-2-1 networking?
ManojRanaweera
No presentations this time. May be one speaker - a well known local entrepreneur with few words of encouragement. 1to1 or groups as you wish
ManojRanaweera
Can I request you to join the NW Start Up 2.0 and Start Up 2.0 groups, please? The intention is to use these two groups to create communities (one regional and the other national) where each of us can request and offer help.
For example (request), ebdex requires 3 exceptional senior personnel to take responsibility for sales and marketing, operation, and product and development.
For example (offer), I am happy to offer my knowledge and expertise to any other company, e.g in the areas of strategic planning, process improvement and channel development.

When can we know if you're charging for this event?
ManojRanaweera
We will make this decision ASAP and no later than 1 week before the event.
ManojRanaweera
Those who planned to attend or watch, can you introduce yourself on http://upcoming.org/group/2356/ please. Say few words about your company/project and what your current needs are. This would be useful especially for the investment community when deciding to attend or not to attend. Same goes for other entrepreneurs.
ManojRanaweera
At present, upcoming.org does not provide a facility to record your job title and company. This cause a problem in terms of printing name tags for the event. Therefore, could you please consider providing these two vital bits of information either through your profile or on the NW Start Up 2.0 group (http://upcoming.org/group/2356/) through introduction.

Imran Ali of Orange has been confirmed as the keynote speaker, and there will also be a panel with Q&A sessions. http://manojranaweera.wordpress.com/2006/11/02/nw-start-up-20-featured-on-techcrunch/

Good luck with this. For those people wondering what SaaS is, I suggest having a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_Service
Hopefully the abvreviations are kept to a minimum for the investor community.

I am happy to announce that this event will be sponsored by KPMG.
Stuart Bruce (or his friend) volunteered to do some podcasting.
Any further ideas?
ManojRanaweera
John Burns from Haliwells promised to organise the name tags. If you do not tell me who you are and which company you work for, we have a problem of printing your name tags.
ManojRanaweera
In case you did not get the message, the next event is on 15th March 07 at KPMG Manchester. Registration is through http://www.nwstartup20.co.uk. See you there!
