As EDC enters its 15th year, we look back to 1994 to reflect not only on the past and how far we've come, but also on the future and where we want to go from here. What kind of future will we build, and how will we get there? Are we positioned to develop new technologies that improve our quality of life rather than complicate it? How will we break through boundaries that have hindered our progress so that we can realize our true innovation potential? Please join us as we take this opportunity to reflect on our past and our future, and together we will create the South Florida of tomorrow.
This year’s conference will showcase 12 of the most exciting new companies in our region, while exploring South Florida’s unique advantages of science and technology innovation, international business, and robust infrastructure. Industries represented will include Information Technology, Transportation and Aerospace, Alternative Energy and the Life Sciences. Over 200 professionals will gather to network with potential clients, partners and investors, and to drive towards entrepreneurial excellence in our region.
