Jeff Clavier to speak at BMA ProdMktng/Mgmt Bkfst tomorrow, Tues 15 Feb

This month’s NorCalBMA Product Marketing/Management Roundtable (we so need an acronym) will feature Jeff Clavier of SoftTechVC - a very clued-in and generally good guy. The topic will be “From Idea to Product to Company”, and Jeff will talk about his experiences on both the funding side and now in helping young companies grow. Check out his blog for more permanent info about the breakfast event and- add his blog to your feed while you’re at it.

I’ll give you a quick story about Jeff to let you know what you’re in for. In a deft coup de gras for his clients Buzznet, Jeff ably stepped in to replace reps from competitor Flickr at last week’s Media Center conference in Palo Alto. I thought it was just Jeff stepping up when it became apparent that Flickr was absent (not being critical here, but that’s what did happen at the IBDN Under the Radar Event, where Flickr just didn’t show) - but apparently it was known about 12 hours in advance. You’ll have to come and ask Jeff for the Full Scoop.

Incidentally, in writing this, I realized that I have a number of very interesting things held up in my drafts. Among them is a post with my notes from that IBDN event in Nov. Take a look - I back posted it to back in Nov, because that’s when it took place, don’t be picky.

Did I mention this event is a breakfast event?

It’s held at Scott’s in Palo Alto from 7:30am - 9am. If you’re a member of BMA, it’s free; if not, it’s $10. Their breakfasts are good, if a touch pricey - ranging from full omlettes to toast and other bargain options.
