CED focused on biotech because that's what was strong at the time in this
region, but for years now they've been turning the focus firsts towards
software companies and now towards the more generic IT company, which
includes hardware, software, and "Internet" companies. Their annual
software conference has even undergone an identity change. Instead of
Software '99 at the end of the month, it's IT 99:

Netpreneur.org is a "sister" organization, I believe, as is the
entrepreneurial group in Atlanta. But in the fight for recognition, their
competitors of CED. Each groups mission is not just to stimulate
entrepreneurial growth, but to do so in their region.
