Pulling together an entry for the $10K Business Plan Competition?
Want to start a company with your hot new ideas?  Wondering about the
future of telecommunications?

Come hear Harry Newton, telecom's most popular and colorful speaker,
talk about high-tech entrepreneurism.  In his own words, "tell 'em to
come to this presentation and earn a million dollars!"

      Tuesday, February 13th, 6:00pm in E51-345 (MIT Sloan School)

Harry is the editor-in-chief of four technology magazines, the
producer of a major trade show, and a frequent speaker on
entrepreneurism and computer telephony.  He has encouraged dozens of
companies off the ground in this rapidly growing industry.  Included
are several MIT startups, such as Stylus Innovation, Wildfire, and
Applied Language Technologies.  He has seen more business plans, good,
bad, and ugly, than most of us can ever hope to encounter.  Come hear
his take on what makes a high-potential business plan and a successful
new venture.  What factors distinguish those that swim from those that
sink, in a rapidly changing technological market?  What's special
about computer telephony?  What *is* computer telephony?  Come find
out.

The Sloan Media/Telecom Club, in affiliation with the New Veenture
Association, the $10K Business Plan Competition, and the Strategic IT
track, are honored to have Harry Newton join the speaker series.
Harry Newton holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School and an
Economics undergraduate degree from the University of Sydney,
Australia.  He is not an engineer, but wishes he were.
