Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium
Presented by: Wisconsin Technology Council
Location: Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center (1 John Nolen Drive, Madison)
Time: November 15-16
The 2017 Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium will be held Nov 15-16. In 2016, over 600 people attended the conference from across the state and beyond and offered more opportunities than ever before for companies to interact with angel and venture investors from Wisconsin and well beyond.
As always, the Early Stage Symposium features plenty of informative and inspiring speakers, panel discussions, networking and much more.
Companies have an opportunity to make presentations and meet with investors, along with other entrepreneurs and business leaders. Many firms have cited participation in the conference as a key factor for significant business growth. Nearly 500 companies have presented during this fall conference in one format or another over the years, including some of the largest technology companies that call Wisconsin home.
