SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ : BBNK ), whose
subsidiary is Bridge Bank, National Association, a full service
professional business bank located in San Jose, California, announced today
its sponsorship and participation in OnDC, the first annual AlwaysOn March
OnDC conference. This two-and-a-half day event is being held October 19 -
21, 2009, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The first annual OnDC, presented by AlwaysOn, is a two-and-a-half-day
executive gathering that highlights the significant economic, political,
and commercial trends affecting global innovation industries. OnDC focuses
on the sectors most impacted by the federal government including green
tech, on-demand computing and IT security, education, and the life
sciences. Part of what is at stake is the more than $80 billion in
proposed annual spending by the government on these industries.
"Top entrepreneurs, service providers and venture investors from all over
the U.S. will march into Washington, D.C. to present and debate their plans
to fuel economic growth and create new jobs and wealth for all," said Marc
Sternberg, President of AlwaysOn. "Bridge Bank has been at the forefront
of working with these companies with internal and government sponsored
lending programs and we look forward to partnering with them on this
conference."
OnDC will feature the most innovative companies, eminent technologists and
scientists, influential investors, public policy makers, and journalists in
keynote presentations, panel debates, and private company CEO showcases.
The goal is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities
and investments and uncover how to best capitalize on top government
initiatives.
At OnDC, the AlwaysOn editors will also honor the OnDC 100 -- the private
companies that most impact the public sector. Up to 50 technology CEOs
will pitch their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in CEO
showcase sessions.
"AlwaysOn events continue to create a focal point for people and ideas to
come together. OnDC represents a significant milestone in the expansion of
the AlwaysOn brand and a recognition of Washington's growing embrace of
technology to fuel our country's economic expansion as well as its role in
ensuring our national security. Attendees and sponsors alike can look
forward to this newest AlwaysOn conference to focus on ways to strengthen
and expand the key relationship between entrepreneurs and the government,"
said Paul Gibson, Senior Vice President of Bridge Bank's Technology Banking
Division's East Coast Region. "Promoting communication and cooperation
between business and government is critical to rejuvenating the economy as
well as helping to ensure America's leadership role in technology and
innovation in the global marketplace."
