OPEN 2020

The VentureWell OPEN conference gathers together representatives from across the innovation and entrepreneurship spectrum to share stories, start new collaborations, and learn emerging best practices in the rapidly evolving field of technology entrepreneurship education. OPEN 2020 attendees represent all disciplines including engineering, science, arts, and business. They represent a diverse cross-section of players in the I&E education community—faculty, researchers, entrepreneurs, students, administrators, and more. Highly interactive tracks and session formats, along with mini-networking sessions in the breaks, our conference kickoff and meals, all encourage attendees to cross-pollinate ideas and deepen their knowledge. Our session formats are designed to be highly engaging and interactive (say goodbye to long, dreary presentations). At the end of the sessions you’ll leave with new tools, content, and approaches that you can apply to your own teaching, work, and research right away, be they strategies for integrating ethics into your entrepreneurship class or instruments you can use to research program outcomes. Our presenters and attendees will share trends and new strategies that you can integrate into your practice and curriculum directly.
