You have a cool tech startup. You love Philly and its tech startup community. Well, here is your chance to show off what you are building and support the community at the same time! Entrepreneur Expo 2011 is March 31st Hamilton Hall, University of the Arts. Last year's event drew over 400 people including entrepreneurs, investors, educators, students and leaders in the political, legal and business communities. They were all there to see all the cool and interesting things happening in the Philadelphia area entrepreneurial community. We expect this year's event to be just as big! However, space is limited so we are opening exhibitor applications to PSL membership first. We will accept exhibitor applications from PSL members only until March 12th. On March 13th, we will open exhibitor applications to the general public. For more information, exhibitor guidelines and a link to the application form, please check out the exhibitor page on our website. Please note that to help defray the costs of running the event, we will be charging exhibitors a $45 fee. Instructions will be provided to accepted exhibitors on payment of the fee. Although Expo will be free to attendees, you must "purchase" a ticket to attend. Ticket sales are currently open to PSL members only for a limited time. So make sure you get yours early! You don't want to miss this event! We have done a great job in the last year of showcasing the incredible talent, creativity and passion of Philly's entrepreneurial community. Expo is one more way we can relay that message. The Expo committee and the PSL leadership are looking forward to seeing you there! Be sure to follow us on Twitter @startupleaders for updates!
