I’ve been a big fan of Slattery IT’s weekly email newsletters and was excited when the marketing and events company announced its own Tech Crunch-like event in October. Much like Tech Crunch, happening in September in Silicon Valley, companies can apply to pitch their business model in front of a crowd of investors as part of the “Tech 23″, the event’s namesake. Outside the pitches, a lineup of panelists has been assembled spanning startups to VCs and you can see a glimpse of the list here which includes names from Pollenizer and Google. One encouraging factor for the event is that the New South Wales State and Regional development department is throwing its name and (presumably) its dollar behind the event.
The application process continues for Tech through Friday and according to company tweets, about 50 companies have applied so far, so odds arent too bad at getting accepted into the bunch. Attendees can buy tickets online here.
