[Novalug] Enterprise Forum Wireless Event

[John Franklin]

I've been working with the MIT Enterprise Forum for several years, and  
this week we're going to have an event that I think will appeal to  
many NoVaLUGers.

On Tuesday, the MIT Enterprise Forum is hosting a Wireless  
Applications Startup Lab featuring two local iPhone development  
companies, TapMetrics and KeenGuides.

Like NoVaLUG, the Enterprise Forum is an educational non-profit  
organization.  The Forum focuses on educating innovative entrepreneurs  
in all stages of the startup lifecycle through programs that highlight  
how real companies are tackling real problems.  The Startup Lab is a  
program where two early-stage companies present their business plans  
and a panel of three experts provide commentary on everything from the  
presentation itself to their financial projections to how they're  
positioned in the market.

The event is free to MITEF members, $35 to non-members.  More  
information and pre-registration is available on the MITEF.org  
website[1].
