Kathy Malone of the Green User Group ( http://http://eplan-eq.com/KickStartz.aspx ) is hosting a Startup type event, details she supplied me below.

Ever thought about starting your own business? Had that great idea you think could be the Next Big Thing? The good news is there may have never been a better time since the early days of the Internet to start your own technology-based business!!!

Join us Saturday evening, Dec 5th, 6:00-8:30PM for the Opening Night WinMoDev Starz Event for StartUp Tampa to be continued on Sunday Dec 6th 9:00-4:30pm (you will need to sign up for both events separately since they span calendar days). On Saturday evening there will be introductions; success stories and lessons learnd from dev and IT Pro community entrepreneurs and business owners, and an overview of the Microsoft programs available to help you realize your technology dreams as a business. Sunday we will brainstorm ideas, build-out a few of the ideas, and other business talks. Even if you only attend the first Saturday evening session, you will come away with a better idea both of the resources available to you, and of how to start choosing and building out your idea for “the Next Big Thing”.
