Happy New Year!
A little late to post the January events this year. But that’s because of the 2020 Austin Silicon Hills News Austin Calendar. It’s made it back from the printers and it’s being prepared for its debut at the sixth annual SHN Calendar Party. This year, the party is being held at The Riveter from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 23rd. Please join us to meet the 12 startup founders and advocates featured in the 2020 calendar. If you don’t have tickets yet, get your tickets soon because we will sell out.
Thank you to our sponsors for the calendar and event including The Riveter, (our venue host) the Austin Chamber of Commerce, BuildGroup, InnoTech Austin, Kronologic, Sana Benefits, Egan-Nelson Law Firm, Silicon Hills Lawyer, Kronologic.ai and Active Capital. And In-Kind Sponsors: MassChallenge Texas. We still have room for a few more sponsors to make the event spectacular. Please sign up on Eventbrite.
