Center for Innovation + Entrepreneurship
Ignite 2.0
Ignite has evolved, and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) is excited to introduce Ignite 2.0!
What is different about Ignite 2.0 you may ask?
Let us tell you!
First, the dates have been changed to November 8-10, 2024!
This three-day event has been redesigned to meet you where you are in the innovation, entrepreneurship, and start-up space. There will be breakout sessions designed with your answers (below) in mind.
There will be a wide variety of guest speakers - business owners, community leaders, successful entrepreneurs, and wait for it...a real contestant from Shark Tank who received a deal from Mark Cuban!
Additionally, there will be hands-on workshops to move you in the right direction and further your confidence in entrepreneurship!
On Sunday, there will be an optional pitch showcase where you can pitch your business or win prizes to further your entrepreneurial spirit! The showcase will be live-streamed, with local city managers, business owners, and investors being invited.
After you submit this application, check your email regularly for the final agenda of the weekend's events!
Attend every day for maximum benefit, but if your time is limited, join Ignite 2.0 as much as you can!
For additional information, contact Teresa Quinn, CIE Director at quinnt@txstate.edu!
Again, the new dates are November 8-10, 2024! And of course there will be FOOD!
Please follow us on LinkedIn: txst-center-for-innovation-and-entrepreneurship and Instagram: txst_cie to stay in touch with this, and all CIE events!
