Future Tech CEO Bob Venero to Lead Entrepreneur Panel at CEWIT
 

2009 Conference to Focus on Healthcare IT and Helping Budding Entrepreneurs

Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech Enterprise, Inc., will be among seven successful entrepreneurs leading a panel discussion during the 2009 CEWIT Conference at the Long Island Marriott in Islandia on October 1.

CEWIT (The Center for Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology) is a $250 million government / industry / academic partnership leading the next wave of the wireless and information technology revolution. Its mission is to conduct world class interdisciplinary research in the emerging critical technologies, foster new enterprise development, address the technology worker shortage and become a world leader in wireless and information technology.

Participating on the Entrepreneur Panel will be: Lisa Broughton, Suffolk County Department for Economic Development and Workforce Housing; John Demarest, New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR); Anil Dhundale, Long Island High Technology Incubator; Monique Gablenz, Stony Brook University’s Calverton Business Incubator; Steven Goad, Long Island Development Corporation (LIDC); and Jeffrey Saelens, Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Stony Brook University.

The Entrepreneur Panel will consist of four scenarios describing businesses at different stages of development and the needs of the business at that particular stage. Panelists will be asked to describe any of their programs that would be able to assist that business at that particular stage. Audience members will relate to one of the four scenarios and gain a greater understanding of the many programs available to assist them through CEWIT. The workshop will conclude with a Q&A and an opportunity for audience members to have individual conversations with the panelists.

Mr. Venero will offer his expertise as one of Long Island’s most celebrated business success stories. The founder of Future Tech Enterprise Inc., Mr. Venero started the company in the basement of his home in 1996; today it is an end-to-end full-service solution provider with 2009 sales of $100 million and clients that include JetBlue, Northrop Grumman and Barnes & Noble.

“The three most important things you need to keep the momentum going is getting validation from your peers and potential customers, getting funding up front from your top supporters, and formulating a solid business plan that remains flexible to changing market needs,” explained Mr. Venero, who stressed passion and perseverance as two common traits among all entrepreneurs. “But the most important thing to remember – aside from separating your business from your family life – is that everything ties to sales; use your sales, marketing and networking skills to strengthen your hold in the industry you’ve chosen, and be sure to readjust your goals as you grow.”

Named one of Long Island’s top 10 fastest growing companies for five consecutive years, Future Tech is regularly recognized for its dedication to its partners, and was recently declared the #1 HP Personal Systems Group Regional Growth Partner. Mr. Venero – who was featured on the cover of VARBusiness when Future Tech was chosen 2005 VAR of the Year by Everything Channel -- speaks frequently at industry events and functions.
