We are Raleigh-Durham. We are Austin. We are Chicago. We are Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. And we are leading the next wave of innovation in America’s technology sector. This phenomenon is gaining so much steam that Steve Case, the former chairman of AOL, has dubbed it the “Rise of the Rest.”

This year’s CED Tech Venture Conference, to be held September 16-17 in Raleigh, NC, celebrates this trend— and you are invited. Join 600 of the nation’s most promising early-stage and high-growth companies, leading investors, and tech enthusiasts as we discuss the “Rise of the Rest.” The conference will also explore how the ubiquitous “Internet of Things” paradigm is increasingly blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds.
