RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – The Southeast Venture Conference (SEVC) has announced that the second annual Conference will be held February 27-28th, 2008 at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner, Virginia.

The SEVC agenda will feature approximately 40 of the region’s top private technology firms, a number of high profile speakers and exclusive panels geared to a national audience of venture capitalists, private equity investors, and executive entrepreneurs.

The SEVC is the opportunity for private equity investors to network with the most promising emerging growth companies in the southeast region and for pioneering entrepreneurs to make the connections that empower their companies to become tomorrow’s business leaders.

Both early and later stage firms based in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington DC will be presenting.

The Southeast region, comprising the 5th largest economy in the world, continues to emerge as a driving force in technology development across a number of industries. The southeast has provided the highest venture backed return of any region in the US over the last 12 years.

“The Southeast Venture Conference showcases leading entrepreneurs from throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions,” said Jason Caplain of Southern Capitol Ventures, Chair of the event. “With regional and national venture capital groups attending along with entrepreneurs, this will be an outstanding conference.”

The sold-out inaugural SEVC was held in Research Triangle Park, NC and featured over $56 billion in investment capital in attendance.
