As all of you know, I am a huge fan of the Funding Universe Speed Pitching events. Last month the event was up in Davis County, and if you read my post you will know that I came away absolutely stunned at all that is going on up north. Well, this month they jump to the other end of our wonderful valley… December 6th will be a Speed Pitching event as part of Novell’s “Home Run’s in IT” Conference. Well worth your time. I have seen some really cool business ideas get attention from investors, and I have seen some businesses who, quite frankly have needed a bit of guidance get some invaluable feedback. Kudos to Blake Brock and his team who put these on.
But lest I appear to play favorites too much 
let’s poke our nose into a few other items upcoming:
Nov 15: Park City Chamber of Commerce. Tomorrow I will be at my second Park City Chamber event. The last one was amazing! Looking forward to it, and will let you know how it goes. Thus far however, I ahve to say that the PC Chamber really seems like one worth joining. If you’re at this event, please be sure to say “Hi.” I love to meet readers.
Nov 30: UTC Hall of Fame. I have not actually been to one of the hall of fame presentations before… So I’m not exactly sure what to expect here… anyone attend last year and want to give us some insight? Is this a good one for us all to hit?
Dec 7: Corporate Alliance. I hit my first Corporate Alliance meeting earlier this month. Eric is planning to hit this one, and give us a writeup to see how it compares.
Dec 19: UTC Sales P2P, “Compensation Plans and Sales Incentives that Work.” Okay, so I am excited to hear this. As a business owner, I constantly have to figure out how to incent sales people, but not short-change those around them (SE’s, Account Managers, etc.) and not create an environment where they can rest on their laurels, r jsut continue to work existing customers and never look for new biz.
As a note: my intention with this post is not to be a full community calendar… these are the events I am planning to hit, because I think it likely they’ll have a lot of value. Are there events that you have coming up that are so cool that we should be sure not to miss them? Are there events you attend that you would be willing to give us a writeup on, so we know what we missed out on, and can be sure to catch it next time? Is your tech so immensely cool that we should be Spotlighting it, so the world can know? If so, be sure to comment on this post, or send me feedback.
