Buffalo Homecoming - June 27th Schedule of Events

Business Buffalo

Buffalo Technology Entrepreneur Conference - BTEC

The Statler - The Grand Ballroom

9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m  FREE

The stereotype of Buffalo is that it is a town filled with blue collar lunch bucket factory workers with a love of chicken wings and Canadian Beer. Well, the wings and beer thing is true, but Buffalo is also home to a growing and thriving new economy.

This is a networking event at which larger companies can show the way to success, mid-level companies can reach out to new customers, find talent, locate real estate, and smaller companies that are just starting out can find some investors or just share their plans.
