Scott Kirsner recently let me know about a great upcoming event in Cambridge – the Momentum Summit (http://www.momentumsummit.com). The conference is bringing together experienced local entrepreneurs and letting them share advice with the local startup community, and sounds like a good opportunity for people like me to hear from people who have done it before. The conference seems to have a internet/online business angle, which is also pretty perfect for me!
Some of the people speaking have done some amazing things; some of the execs who caught my eye are:
Gail Goodman, Constant Contact CEO
Steven Kaufer, TripAdvisor CEO
Trynka Shineman, VistaPrint CMO
David Cancel, Performable CEO
According to Scott, the purpose of the event is to “ to bring in some of the most successful CEOs, founders, marketers, and salespeople from our region, and have them share their advice on how small companies developing great products can build really big customer bases.”
As a guy trying to grow OfficeDrop‘s customer base into something really big, it sounds like a good conference to me!
I also think that the proceeds will benefit a local non-profit, Stay In MA (a scholarship program for Massachusetts-based college students), which is an added bonus.
