Incubator sessions

Many of you are engaged in Educational Innovation efforts. Here are several opportunities to share your efforts with others and learn from peers about their efforts. You are invited to attend any or all of these “incubator” sessions where ideas are shared and leveraged. Registration is suggested.

All sessions
Time—Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Location—Entrepreneurs Resource Clinic at the west end of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
Drinks and cookies will be served. Bring your lunch, if you’d like.

Registration
Register online for as many sessions as you like.

If you have an effort to share, please come prepared to do so in two minutes. We call these “flash talks.” This will allow many ideas to be shared in a short time, and then you can connect to learn more about any that interest you.

If you have questions or ideas, please contact Aaron Brower at ambrower@wisc.edu.
