UPCOMING HIDDEN-TECH EVENTS

We've got a very busy October ahead with super events, so please mark 
your calendars and plan to attend the following:

====================
NEW MEDIA FOCUS GROUP

When: Tuesday, Oct. 3
Time: 5 - 7 p.m.
Where: The Jones Library basement room, Amity Street, Amherst.

REGIONAL OFFICIALS, ENTREPRENEURS AND ACADEMICS
TO EXPLORE CONNECTING THE REGION TO THE GROWING DIGITAL MARKETPLACE

Regional economic leaders, government officials and new media
entrepreneurs will meet from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3 in the
basement room at the Jones Library, Amity Street, Amherst, to share
short presentations on the growing digital marketplace and discuss how
the Pioneer Valley can leverage this sector for economic development.

The digital marketplace - also called new media - represents the
transmission of digital content to a variety of platforms from video
games to cell phones, laptops to movie theaters and the classroom. The
new media represents one of the fastest-growing and most lucrative
global markets.

A Jazzy Networking Afternoon in the Berkshires

When: Sunday, Oct. 15
Time: 2 p.m.
Where: The Colonial Theater, 111 South St., Pittsfield

What could be better then jazz and networking in the Berkshires at the
height of leaf season?

Ed Bride, one of Hidden-Tech's super Berkshires coordinators, has put
together a fun afternoon for those of you who enjoy Sunday music and a
chance to network with our Berkshire Hidden-Tech colleagues.

We'll take in the final concert of the Pittsfield CityJazz Festival at 2
p.m., Sunday, Oct. 15 at the newly restored Colonial Theater, 111 South
St. (the main street) which is as comfortable as it is handsome.
Featured is the U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors big band with guest soloist
Phil Woods, an alto saxophonist. One of the mainstays of the bebop era,
Woods has recently released two big-band recordings, one of which was
with the Jazz Ambassadors.

Anyone who wants to network afterwards will head off to the Pittsfield
Brew Works on West Street, which is a short walk from the theater. Stay
as long as you want for some local brew and dinner.
