On November 4th, a high-level group of entrepreneurs, CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, researchers, and investors will convene for the tenth edition of the Future Forward Retreat at the Wellesley College Club in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Directions to the Wellesley College Club. 

New to Future Forward, we're encouraging all of our entrepreneur participants to bring a laptop demo (or a cell phone demo, or a product demo) that they can show to others during breaks and lunch -- whether you're looking for funding or just feedback and encouragement.

Request an invitation for the 2010 retreat, or suggest a speaker by e-mailing Scott Kirsner, scott@futureforward.com. For information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Shayne Gilbert at sgilbert@futureforward.com.
