I’m helping organize a great event for software entrepreneurs next week and there still is time for you to register to join me there.

If you are you thinking about the best way to position your startup for a possible acquisition, Software Day at TiE Entrepreneur Week is for you. Tuesday’s Software Day is one of four intensive daylong sessions over a four-day period from Monday to Thursday; other segments are Internet, Wireless and Cleantech. We have planned great keynotes and a fantastic panel.

TiE is a great non-profit networking organization that started in the Bay area and now has 50+ chapters and 10,000+ members worldwide. The who’s who of Silicon Valley are involved with it: Prior speakers at TiE events have included Steve Ballmer, John Chambers, Meg Whitman and Bruce Chizen.

Those of us watching the software landscape know that despite the economic downturn M&A is still the predominant exit for startups. Acquisitions of Vignette, SPSS, Wind River, DataSynapse, Omniture and SpringSource underscore this fact.

On Software Day, corporate development executives from SAP, HP, Cisco and other major companies will discuss trends they are watching, segments that are of most interest to them, and ultimately how they identify startups for acquisition. You’ll also hear lessons learned from the CEOs of the two big M&A headliners in 2009: Omniture and SpringSource.

So sign up today to reserve your spot at this exclusive table. Use the code Tie-Deal and get in at the member price of $95 – a $30 savings. These events usually sell out well in advance and we limit attendance to ensure exclusivity.
