Our guest speakers for the evening will be Paul Sponcia, CEO of Claris Networks (http://www.clarisnetworks.com/) and Dr. Michael Wilcox, Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee and thought leader in economic development (http://economics.ag.utk.edu/wilcox.html). Be on the lookout as well for a surprise guest of honor.

Attendance is expected to be around 100+.

We’re expecting the same crowd from the The First Annual Knoxville Overground Startup Awards (http://flickr.com/photos/tngew/sets/72157610000779344/), plus you’ll see a few new faces from the economic development sector, venture capital community, angel investors, representatives from various professional organizations, and a variety of members from the UT community in business, public policy, and scientific research.
