Administered by the premier academic organization for the nation\u2019s university-based centers for entrepreneurship, the conference allows universities to network, benchmark, and explore how best to promote entrepreneurship education and new venture creation.<\/p>\n

Rochester is recognized worldwide as a technology hub, one that’s noted nationally for patents per capita and robust entrepreneurial environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur theme, \u2018Turning Over a New Leaf,\u2019 symbolizes the dynamic and evolving nature of our chosen field of entrepreneurship,\u201d says Duncan Moore, vice provost of entrepreneurship at the University. \u201cThe conference is about gleaning best practices, making impactful connections, and embracing change to propel not only our centers forward but our communities and regions as well. One of the areas of focus will be how centers drive economic development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference hosts are the University\u2019s Ain Center for Entrepreneurship<\/a><\/strong> and RIT\u2019s Albert J. Simone for Student Innovation<\/a><\/strong>. The premier sponsor is the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.<\/p>\n

The conference features more than 200 panelists at 50 plenary sessions, workshops, breakout discussions, and keynote speeches. Events on Thursday will be held in downtown Rochester at the Hyatt Regency and at the Eastman School of Music’s Eastman Theatre. All Friday events take place at the University, with President and CEO Joel Seligman welcoming guests at 10:30 a.m. in Strong Auditorium, followed by a keynote address and interactive discussion from Victor Hwang, vice president of entrepreneurship at the Kauffman Foundation.<\/p>\n

All Saturday events on take place at RIT.<\/p>\n
