I recently learned about an upcoming event in Phoenix featuring my friend and advisor, Howard Lindzon. Howard is the CEO of StockTwits, one of the few companies I know where people are actually making real money from Twitter. If you want to turn your tweets into dollars, I highly recommend attending this engaging “real-time” discussion at the next signature MIT Enterprise Forum Phoenix event. Dee Harris, President of the Arizona Angels, another good friend and advisor, is one of the founding members of the group.) Best known for his start-up proficiency, Howard will share his perceptions on emerging technology and social trends intersecting communications, business, finance and media.

Get a singular insight on a vast array of current topics including:

* How the real-time web is transforming traditional business models
* What ‘real-time’ means for entrepreneurs
* Using social leverage to drive growth
* How to use trends to make money
* The key to surviving bear markets

This event is more than your standard TweetUp. It is a unique opportunity to join with emerging market enthusiasts, entrepreneurs and social media fanatics starting at 5:30pm. Learn how this start-up dealmaker assesses real time opportunities and the expected real time risks. An investor in Twitter, he will reveal how 140 characters is changing our world.
