Connect. Create. Transform.
Join our two-day April conference: Meet leading Wharton, Penn, and other top professors, mentors, funders, fellow entrepreneurs – ready to engage you and raise your odds of hitting your target, or finally testing that new product idea. In new workshops, startup veterans will guide you thru market tested planning and execution steps, boosting your “success quotient” as you push your idea ahead. Then, as now, we’ll connect innovators in many industries to new colleagues, plus many US and global resources.

Here you’ll also meet Fortune 500 leaders and Global 2000 innovators, but also a great many more colleagues ­­in startups, mid­size firms, innovative non­profits and key corporations. In short, you’ll get bigger opportunities to grow your network and sharpen your business acumen. By popular demand, we’ve planned for 20% more attendees. You’ll meet more thought leaders; have more networking interactions in workshops and guided events, and new options during structured and informal breaks. Better bring ALL your business cards.
