Why making Nevada "tech ready" is important is the focus of this year's professional
development conference. Economic development practitioners, local,
regional, state and federal officials, the academic community, and
entrepreneurs should attend this conference to garner information
about understanding the dynamics of the technology sector.
The new economy contains elements foreign to Nevada's current
strongholds in manufacturing and tourism. Intangible concepts -
patents, human capital, entrepreneurial networks, research, and
entrepreneurial capacity - take the place of traditional equipment
capital and an infrastructure built for customer service and
recreation.
Learn the demands of the new economy in presentations covering topics
such as marketing to technology industries, intellectual property law,
strategic planning, cultivating entrepreneurs, and utilizing Nevada's
image and assets.
