Workshops
A workshop series designed to provide teams with information and support in the development of their venture plans has been organized for the 2012 Competition. All Spring 2012 workshops will be held in the College of Management building room 102. All sessions begin at 6:00 PM and will end about 7:30 PM. Food and drinks are provided.
The workshops are very informal with plenty of opportunity for Q&A and individual contact with the invited speakers. Speakers include entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, IP attorneys and experts, faculty, and past business plan team members, including winning teams and companies that continued after the competition.
The current schedule is as follows. Whenever possible, presentations and handouts that are amenable to being digitized will be available on this website for downloading.
