Surround yourself with the smartest entrepreneurs and leaders in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

BizTechDay is a business and technology conference for entrepreneurs who seek to learn inspiring business strategies, practical technology tools, and connect with the smartest people in the San Francisco and Silicon Valley area.

Join the Entrepreneur Movement. Meet someone who will change your business.

On October 23,  you will:

• LEARN from the best entrepreneurs, business leaders, journalists and investors on Fundraising, PR, Marketing, Social Media, Pricing and Branding strategies and real life stories.

• GET UP TO SPEED with the latest technology tools that will make a real difference for your business. There are so many new "must use" tools -how do you know where to start, and what's really worth your time? BizTechDay will help.

BONUS! We want to help you meet at least one person who could somehow, someway, someday change your business. One week before BizTechDay our team will email introduce you to a BizTechDay buddy. Just one person. And one person out there will be introduced to you. You will have a chance to meet your BizTechDay buddy face to face on the morning of the conference. Find each other, chat for a bit, and then bolt over to our Buddy Table and you will each get a FREE copy of the Delivering Happiness book by Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos).
