We do everything we can to bring you the most amazing entrepreneurs, the most provoking business thoughts, the most practical business knowledge, and real personal stories and experiences to help grow your business.

We started out (in 2008) as a small conference in San Francisco with a goal of bringing together amazing entrepreneurs to share their experience in creating and growing businesses.

Since then its scope has broadened. Along with the annual BizTechDay Conference in San Francisco, California, BizTechDay will be expanded to New York and Seattle in 2010 with one goal in mind: To connect, inspire and learn from each other.



BizTechDay Core Values
As BizTechDay grows as a national and international event, it has become more and more important to explicitly define our core values from which we develop our purpose, direction, culture and our ultimate vision for the entrepreneur community.

These are the six core values that BizTechDay worldwide events live by:

Be Connected – We believe we can achieve more connecting, learning and working with great people we trust.
Be Passionate – We are passionate because we believe in what we are doing. We believe we are making an impact by bringing amazing entrepreneurs together.
Deliver WOW — Through experience we seek to WOW our communities, customers, our co-workers, our partners and our sponsors.
Be the Change – Change is a part of the entrepreneurial journey. We embrace change. We are the change makers.
Have Fun – Life is short. Creating business is fun! If you are not having fun – why do it?



BizTechDay Seattle
The BizTechDay Seattle brings together the most fascinating entrepreneurs and doers who have been there and done that. They care about helping other entrepreneurs by sharing their practical business strategies, experiences and personal stories.

Some of our San Francisco speakers included Craig Newmark – Founder of Craigslist, Tim Ferriss – Author of the 4-Hour Workweek, Michael Gerber – Author of the eMyth, Scott Heiferman – Founder of Meetup, Kevin Rose – Founder of Digg, and many many more exceptional entrepreneurs who have been there and done that .

We are committed to bring you the best and brightest entrepreneurs to come share their stories, experiences and strategies.
