How About "Tech Innovators Family Circle" Fairfax NOVA__No Dues

Question: Would some of the 16 Chambers of Commerce support this concept and value the benefits of having a "special tech innovator" group like this idea that once existed in Fairfax Metro DC under IEEE.ORG umbrella ?

Here in Fairfax County of 2 Million residents, we have 16 Chambers of Commerce.
By an large these Chambers consists of small business retailers, service providers
and professionals such as dentists, Medical providers, and home repair guys.
All very important ! But there is no real support structure for the "Tech Biz Innovators"
such as the 1000 SBIR (Small Biz Innovation Research) winners, past and future.

We used of a small tech biz entrepreneurs group under IEEE.ORG, a technical professional society when I was a member of this electrical engineers and physics people mostly for a number of years in the past in my previous career .

Once a month, Saturday, 9:30 AM_11:30 AM, We used to meet at Old Country Buffet at Fairfax and alternating with a Bethesda location. A great speaker typically with a 10 minute presentation and 10 minute Q&A and a sumputous Saturday Breakfast for $5.00 pay directly to the restaurant. No other costs.

People often bought a family member to our events as we encouraged "family garage" inventors and entreprneur types. Typically we got 20 to 50 people attending with pre-registration required.

Below is some stuff I have published that are typical topics of interest to tech innovators but not to retail business or service providers in a Chamber of Commerce.

Question: Would some of the 16 Chambers of Commerce support this concept and value the benefits of having a "special tech innovator" group like this idea that once existed ?

Tech Innovators Family Circle could exist again with support from some of the Fairfax Chambers as we would encourage our attendees to become members of chambers and still participate in our group events and Forums that are particularl catered to people with life science and physical science or engineering background but with a "tech innovator" bent.

Here is a photo of a typical breakfast event we did alternating between the Fairfax OlD Country Buffet at Little River Turnpike & Picket Road (next to the theater in the Mall) and at Bethesda near a Metro Station.

For the dinner meetings twice a year, we did the China Garden Restaurant at Rossyln at the USA Today Building.

Update: Here is a topic that ought to have a considerable interest among Fairfax Metro DC Hub Tech Innovators

Topic: Educational Video Games For High Schoolers particularly for Life Science (Biotechnology) and Physical Science (Physics and Electrical Engineering)

Do you want some background Info as to what investment on this topic have been made by the Federation of American Scientists (A Washington DC Based 501-c-3) who have made considerable "investments" via private public partnership since 2004 as given on their website below.

Have a look and see if this is a good topic for us Tech Innovators here in Fairfax VA Metro DC Hub "Eat and Meet" event ?

Start Or Expand A Technical Business with A Federal SBIR Grant Phase I with a Innovation Team

http://www.squidoo.com/start-or-expand-a-technical-business-with-a-federal-sbir-grant-phase-i-with-a-innovation-team

Conversation: As an example, I just noticed at the NSF SBIR Solicitation (proposal due by December, 2013) "Educational Video Game" topic is included !

I have participated in SBIR Proposal Virtual Team preivously with an tech entrepreneur company that came out of the SBIR proposals and built the company to 30 people over about 10 years until this company was sold to a larger company and the owner, entrepreneur retired (Physics and Air Force Flyer Background) .

The owner served as the PI (Principle Investigator).

Anyone with a physics, chemistry, material science or other technical background would make a very good PI for a SBIR Proposal provided a virtual team can be put together around the PI and the idea that can be done by the team, for example,for this solicitation, an educational video game for a target market such as K-12 Students or special training stuff for VETS, would be great fit.

I have some knowledge and motivation on how to develop a virtual team around a suitable PI for "educational music video" topics for a SBIR or Foundation Proposal, may be both ?

I LOVED this presentation, Jane really spoke to me here on an idea I've been talking about for years. Hi, my name is Ellen Warren. I have been involved in a number of virtual worlds IRADs and assignments for about five years. I have been a big proponent of collaborative environments and leveraging wisdom of the masses (so to speak). I'm really excited to see this ideal is still alive and focus put on it.

Topic: Tech Innovators Family Circle Café Twin Fairfax VA DC Hub Community
(TIFC Cafe Twin Fairfax VA Metro DC Hub Proposal)

Update; An Affordable Protocol Demo to Strengthen Social Capital at Hometown USA. Virtual Teaming focusing on educational music video games and “eat and meet” Saturday buffet breakfast event planned linked to Café Twin Show taping once a month for distribution via top 5 public access non-commercial cable channels at Metro DC hub

A Brief Summary available on request toward seeking the crowdfunding. Kickstarter and Rockethub proposals accepted by the two respective philanthropy crowdfunding organizations, but not yet funded due to "community support" requirement.

Avi is now seeking ways to approach at least some of the 15 Chamber of Commerce that exists here and present the value proposition of this TIFC Cafe Twin Proposal to help strengthen tech innovators and knowledge economy capacity of our tech hub community here at Fairfax VA Metro DC.

Question: Where is this Hometown USA that you speak of?

Possible Answer: Let us execute Tech Innovators Familiy Circle (TIFC) here at Fairfax, VA Metro DC Hub and create an example for how Tech Innovators can help strengthen community vitality for any other as they so choose.

Make sense ?

September 11, 2013

Update; Topic 01: How about three subtopics for consideration:

(01) Technology Development, focusing on IT/Telecom/Software topics
via SBIR or Crowdfunding

(02) Heritage Music Video Production for those with Voice & Band aspiration
with story telling as possible via music video. This is typically good to do via crowdfunding money, for example, Kick Starter is the most well known but there other phlanthropy based organizations who are pretty good also.

(03) Educational Video Game, include the music video gnere such as I am doing two now via likely SBIR protocol.

Topic 02: Learning about grant writing for Tech Innovators_Fairfax County Free Opportunity.
