New Mexico Technology Expo Luncheon
Albuquerque Grand Hotel – Airport
September 19, 2008
11:30 – 1:30 PM
Join us for an exciting story -Tom Chavez, CEO of Rapt Inc. will speak on “Technology Entrepreneurship: Making It Through the Obstacle Course”.
Tom realized every entrepreneur’s dream when his company, Rapt, Inc, was recently acquired by Microsoft – talk about success! But the real story is how he got there, from a self-described lower-middle-class family in Albuquerque, to Harvard graduate (all 5 siblings) to successful tech entrepreneur.
Rapt, Inc., the leading provider of advertising yield management solutions was recently acquired by Microsoft to be offered as a key component of their Atlas Publisher Suite. Tom says “The opportunity to join forces with Microsoft and see our technology flourish inside a much larger platform was too compelling to pass up. What makes it even more compelling is that Tom is an Albuquerque native.
Also representatives from our technology associations, New Mexico Bio, New Mexico IT & Software Association, New Mexico Optics Industry Association, New Mexico Solar Energy Association and the Nano Network of New Mexico will give an overview of the latest greatest tech developments in the State. These groups represent the industry clusters that are a significant part of New Mexico’s economic success.
