Meeting the right investor, mentor or consultant could make all the difference in the life of your young startup.  But finding and meeting the right people isn’t easy.  That’s why we created the advisory room at StartupDay.  It’s a place where you can have 15 minutes of uninterrupted time with people who can help you grow your company — people who would be hard to meet otherwise.
 
In the StartupDay 2010 Advisory Room you’ll be able to meet one-on-one with some of our regions most successful entrepreneurs, investors and professionals.  Many of the people in the advisory room charge hundreds of dollars per hour for their services and consulting, or they are so busy they don’t always have time for a coffee meeting.
 
As part of your StartupDay 2010 ticket, you have access to them included in your registration. All you need to do is go to the Advisory Room registration table on the day of the conference and book your meetings. You can enjoy the conference, and when your appointment comes, you just head back to the room to have your private 1:1 talk time.
