When: Thursday, March 9, 10AM to 3PM
Where: Mobius Venture Capital

What is it?
The Front Range BrainJam is designed to get people together to share ideas, meet interesting people, explore opportunities and perhaps start new ventures, whether commercial, non-profit, political or personal.
It is not a "networking" event in the mold we've come to know and hate, where you try to sell insurance or recruiting or whatever. Rather, it's an opportunity for us to connect and learn from one another.
Requirements
There are just two of them:
- All attendees must come up to the podium and speak for five minutes about what they're working on - a blog, a technology, a company, a research project, what-have-you.
- Your idea must have an Internet component (we're resisting the tempation to say "Web 2.0"). The world may need a better burger and also a cure for cancer, but this is not the place to discuss them unless they can be done online.
Agenda
It's really simple. After all the presentations, which we expect will take a couple hours, we'll break into ad-hoc groups around interest areas, then go until we're done.
Come for the Right Reasons
Though we're holding this event at a venture capital firm, this is not a VC pitch fest. If you're starting a company and looking for capital, that's nice, but don't come to this with the goal of raising money. Instead, come with the goals of
- adding value for the other attendees,
- exploring common interests,
- meeting new people
- and learning something you didn't know the day before.
Who's behind this?
Mostly Derek Scruggs and Dave Taylor, though they're just organizers. The real value of the event comes from people like you.
The Answer to Your Two Most Burning Questions
- Yes, food will be provided.
- No, it doesn't cost anything.
