Tomorrow’s Midlands Venture Forum’s quarterly Networking Reception will feature Craig Tuttle, President and CEO of Transgenomic, speaking on the topic of “turnarounds and restarts.”
The goal of MVF, which has been in existence since 2000, is to enable entrepreneurs, investors and service providers to collaborate. At these receptions, the opportunity to mingle is not only had at dinner but over the complimentary beer and wine that’s served before it. These events bring in a good mix of people, and if this topic interests you, I encourage you to check it out.
Through our partnership with MVF, they’ve given us two tickets to give away. To put your name in the hat, leave a comment below or reply to @siliconprairie with why you’d like to attend.
