Just a quick update on the upcoming Cleantech Georgia 2008 event, which is being held this coming Wednesday, May 14th.

In addition to having featured speakers from Coca Cola, Southern Company, Suniva, Hardin Construction, and Valhalla Partners, we are thrilled to have locked in Mike McQuary as a speaker. If you don’t Mike, or know of him, he was one of the original principals behind Mindspring (later merged with EarthLink). McQ is doing something really neat these days. Among other things, he is the CEO of Ruff and Tuff, a manufacturer of electric vehicles. Rumor has it that he will actually have one of their vehicles on display at the event.

Also, here is the list of startups that will be delivering a 3 minute fast-pitch at the event:

• Ride Cell
• i-Linc Technologies
• Radiance Energies

If you’d like to attend, here are the specifics.

Thanks again to all of my fellow board members of the TAG Business & Technology Alliance for helping to pull this together. It should be a great event! A special thanksto board member Cindy Cheatham of the ATDC. Cindy has really gone above and beyond to help bring this event together.

Cheers.
