Midwest Venture Summit

2008 Midwest Venture Summit
March 17 & 18, 2008, Chicago

“LiquidTalk presented at just one venture capital forum to debut our mobile workforce engagement solution – the Midwest Venture Summit. Less than 90 days later, we received a multi-million dollar venture capital investment from a Pittsburgh venture firm. The Midwest Venture Summit is a great forum for entrepreneurs and investors to come together.” - Dave Peak, CEO, LiquidTalk

“The Midwest Venture Summit is really the premier venture conference in the Midwest. We have consistently sponsored the event and sent at least two partners from our firm every year because of the quality deal-flow and great networking opportunities. We funded the Series A round of a presenting company at the last Midwest Venture Summit, so I know it works extremely well.” - Murray Wilson, Managing Director, River Cities Capital Funds
