Upstate New York's Premier Venture Forum

 The 2012 Bright Buffalo Niagara Venture Forum is coming up on May 16-17 in Buffalo, NY.

The Venture Forum has sold out the past three years with over 250 attendees each year. In just the past two years, nearly 100 early-stage high-tech companies from across the Buffalo Niagara region have presented as part of this event.
