Fellow Techies,
First, let me take this opportunity to wish you a fulfilling and wealth building 2012, even as we’re already over 30 days into it.
We’re happy to have ended 2011 on a high, with a successful series of bimonthly events with increased attendances, better startup ideas and a super successful tech entrepreneurship conference Caribbean BETA in November. So we’re excited about 2012 and the opportunities to further development of the culture of tech entrepreneurship and the success stories in Jamaica and across the Caribbean.
To that end we will have 5 bimonthly events starting on Thursday February 23rd, 2012 and we will end the year with our annual tech entrepreneurship conference – Caribbean BETA during Global Entrepreneurship Week in November.
This year, at every Kingston BETA event we will have a guest speaker ( local, regional, international), a BETA Pitch Competition which is about discovering the Caribbean’s most promising Tech Startups plus our usual power hours of networking over drinks and nibbles.
Additionally, our sister brand SiliconCaribe.com will be live tweeting every event to the world in addition to getting on
the fly interviews with you, as we move to put a face to the growing community and showcase who’s doing what.
We also welcome our new high energy team of volunteers lead by Kingston BETA event co-producer Dianne Harris who will help produce the events and keep the community connected. Further, starting with our first event, we will be asking you who will be attending Kingston BETA to pay US$5.00 (JA$500) per person per event at the door.
We know you consider Kingston BETA and the community you are part of, to be of great value…we’ve been happily collecting
and sharing the tweets, Facebook comments, emails and personal calls. It is a recognition that Kingston BETA is the platform for startups, entrepreneurs, developers, designers and tech professionals – to learn, be inspired and network.
We are building something significant and we ask that you continue to attend, come to pitch your big ideas, network with some of the smartest minds in the industry and share with others what you experience as together, we grow the Caribbean Tech Startup Scene.
See you at the next Kingston BETA!
Yours sincerely,
Ingrid Riley
