The Council for Entrepreneurial Development (CED) announced last week that Venture 2005, one of the largest venture conferences in the Southeast is scheduled for April 26-27 at the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC. For those that have not attended, this is a great annual event for both entrepreneurs and VCs. I would encourage companies looking for funding to apply to present - the early application date is November 30th. Only NC-based companies can present, but if you are not in NC, come anyway! There will be a lot of VCs attending - from all over so you should be able to make some great contacts. Companies presenting have a pretty good track record of raising money from the conference - raising over $1.6 billion since 1999. And if you're a golfer (I am not), you will know that Venture 2005 is held at the same location as the 2005 U.S. Open Golf Championship.
