 The September 4th Ultra Light Startups event has every indication of being our biggest and best yet. We will keep the same basic format (intros, networking/pizza, headline event) but this time the headline event will be an interactive panel discussion rather than a single speaker.
The panel will discuss a topic near and dear to the hearts of many ultra light entrepreneurs - "Monetization through Online Advertising". As you can see from the bios included below, the speakers at this event bring a tremendous level of experience and industry knowledge to the discussion and will be able to debate and answer entrepreneur’s questions on many aspects of this important topic.
