VC in the OC, Orange County's premier annual event for venture education, deal-making and networking, has a fresh and powerful line-up of speakers for 2008.  Mark Heesen, President of the National Venture Capital Association, will inform us on how to shed some well-timed light on pressing venture-related issues including: 

If you have any ink left in your pen after the first keynote, get ready to jot down more notes on the success secrets of our expert panel featuring five thriving start-up CEOs.  In this "no topic is off limits" panel discussion, moderator Marc Averitt, Managing Director of Okapi Venture Capital, will ask frank questions about fundraising, team selection, biggest mistakes and how to optimize M&A opportunities. 

Those first two sessions alone are worth the cost of admission.  But there's much more.  A line-up of Orange County's hottest start-ups will be presenting 15 minute pitches in back-to-back sessions following the main tent presentations. If you have an interest in acquiring or investing in hot entrepreneurial businesses, this is a must-attend.  Or, if you're an early stage entrepreneur and you just want to see the pitch styles of other emerging businesses, stick-around for this exciting conclusion to VC in the OC. 

Our ballroom accommodates 500 people, and this event always sells out.
