Looking to launch your tech business?

This Wednesday night at the Hyatt Regency is the time and place to be. The Houston Technology Center is hosting its annual TECH CONNECTION. If you want ideas and contacts of how to get your idea or business off the ground and - more importantly - where to find money to help your cause, get downtown to the Hyatt.

From the press release:

This unique event, co-sponsored by the Greater Houston Partnership, will offer emerging technology companies and local businesses a single point of access to Houston’s top technology leaders.

Featured guests will include representatives from BioHouston, the Houston Angel Network, the Greater Houston Partnership, MIT Enterprise Forum of Texas, University of Houston Small Business Development Center Network, the Houston Technology Center and HTC Americas, and Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. HTC’s Emerging Technology Council Chair and Houston’s High Tech Texan®, Michael Garfield, will kick off the event. Both the expo and networking reception are included in the $25 price.

Oops, I better start working on my remarks.

Seriously, this is a great event for information, networking and schmoozing. Sign up NOW before registration is full. The price alone is worth it for the cocktails!

Busy Saturday, August 9

Back in H-Town after a stint and live broadcast from the Left Coast. While playing Mr. Mom to the kids this weekend...

...busy radio show on Sat from 11a-2p CDT (12a-3a Sunday - China). Interviews with a rep from the Wi-Fi Alliance about new Internet access on airlines, live BarCamp 3 updates from the Houston Technology Center and a great local cause called Wreaths Across America, to name a few.

Plus plenty of suggestions and questions to be answered about back-to-school tech gear.

Next week we come live from Las Vegas and on August 30 we will be doing the show from beautiful Belize. Make sure to tune in and log on the videoconference as we broadcast from Las Terrazas and Journey's End resorts. Can't wait to hop that Continental Airlines flight about 2.5 hours south for scuba, sun and fun.

Later that night I'll be emceeing the Sugar Land Superstart finale from Sugar Land Town Square. Come out and watch me do my best (better) impersonation of Ryan Seacrest as we find the most talented singer in Ft. Bend County. Afterwards I'll be hanging out at Olive's Martini Bar and Grille for - and I'm not kidding - the new High-Techtini they just added to the menu.

And on Sunday he rested...
