Are you creating a small business or startup but need skills, tools, resources and networks to help you build your business? If so, you should attend Entrepreneur Week.Entrepreneur Week events are held throughout the US -- and the world -- on a regular and recurring basis.
Entrepreneur Week is a 5 day event made up of panel discussions, workshops and networking. The event is a platform to promote entrepreneurship by bringing together community stakeholders -- not just for-profits, but also non-profits, and city and state organizations.
Entrepreneur Week was created by Gary Whitehill, founder of the Relentless Foundation and Whitehill International and one of the driving forces behind New York's entrepreneurial eco-system. Whitehill's ultimate goal for Entrepreneur Week is to "build a platform that helps to solidify ecosystems around the country and eventually around the world, to stand up together and promote entrepreneurship in a hyper targeted way."
New York Entrepreneur Week was created as a response to the US economic crisis, but it has since gone global. Last month, Athens Entrepreneur Week brought business experts from 10 countries as well as 600 attendees. Whitehill feels that entrepreneurship is the solution to the Greek economic crisis.
Attendees at New Orleans Entrepreneur Week, also in March, worked toward reviving Louisiana's businesses post-Katrina. A Water Challenge helped entrepreneurs working on water-related ventures. New Orleans Entrepreneur Week also has helped businesses expand. Last year, 2010 Entrepreneur Week winner Cordina Frozen Cocktails made $5 million in revenue for their single serve margaritas and daiquiris. This year's winner, Kickboard, an online system which allows teachers to evaluate student performance and behavior, won a trip to meet potential Silicon Valley investors.
Business schools participated in New Orleans Entrepreneurship Week as well. Idea Village’s IDEAcorps Initiative allowed MBA students to act as the executive management teams for local startups. MBAs, including those from top schools like Harvard, Yale and Columbia, presented their ideas to a panel of business executives.
