The 2010 NYSHEI Annual Meeting will feature Martin Babinec, Founder and Chairman of Upstate Venture Connect, as the keynote speaker.
Upstate Venture Connect (UVC) is a newly launched not-for-profit corporation that is designed to make New York an
“innovation powerhouse,” by connecting entrepreneurs and innovators with the talent and resources they need create and grow innovative businesses. Mr. Babinec, as the visionary and prime-mover behind UVC, is working to cultivate the “entrepreneurial ecosystem” needed.
Jason Kramer, NYSHEI Executive Director, said, “Mr. Babinec and UVC are getting attention. When I first learned of their efforts I knew immediately that the NYSHEI vision of an information infrastructure supporting teaching, research and economic growth found an ally in UVC.”
Upstate Venture Connect is rapidly advancing and the media is taking note (see here, here).
“I am very gratified that Mr. Babinec will join us in Saratoga Springs on June 8th. For the past few years NYSHEI has worked to connect its member libraries to resources and voices in the policy making and economic growth worlds. The program assembled for our Annual Meeting and featuring Babinec maintain that tradition and keep us moving forward,” said Kramer.
The NYSHEI Annual Meeting is offered at no cost to all librarians and staff of NYSHEI member institutions. Register today online.
