Do you have a business idea? Is there a cause that you want to support directly? Do you want to make an IMPACT through your own organization? Do you dream of having your own startup?

The purpose of IMPACT 2012 is to introduce the NetIP base and its supporters to the idea that you too can make an impact in your community and much more. Having an idea or an inspiration to do something unique and make an impact is key.

Come join NetIP for its first ever Entrepreneurship Panel. You'll have a chance to hear from a panel of entrepreneurs first hand what it is like to have an idea and run with it. You'll have the chance to have a Q & A session with them as well as have the chance to meet them in a post session mingling hour. Our speakers will be:

AMISH TOLIA of APPAREL MEDIA GROUP

AMG was created to provide a global solution to help brands address that hyperlocal opportunity and in doing so pioneered a massively scalable communications channel. Currently he oversees sales and marketing for the group. Prior to starting AMG, Amish was involved in starting up CampusThreadz.com which provided apparel printing solutions for students on major campus' and universities.

SWATHI NARRA of LUXEMI.COM

Swathi Narra is the Co-Founder of Luxemi.com, a fashion website that's a hybrid between rental and shopping sites and sells gorgeous Indian clothing that you'll instantly fall for. Luxemi, a cross between Rent The Runway and Net-A-Porter (but for Indian clothing and accessories), solves a genuine problem—a lack of access to gorgeous Indian clothing and accessories here in the States. Prior to founding Luxemi, Swathi was experienced in the law field out in the west coast. With her understanding of starting up a company from scratch and her various experiences we're proud to have Swathi on our panel.
