E2 Detroit 2009

Don’t miss E2 Detroit 2009 on Thursday, October 15, at Wayne State University’s McGregor Conference Center and Community Arts Auditorium.

For the past four years Wayne State has hosted a conference for entrepreneurs known as E2 Detroit. This event may be even more important this year because of the state of our economy.  The national media are paying particular attention to the challenges we face in Detroit. These media have set themselves up in Detroit to look for solutions here that can be replicated elsewhere in the country. 

With a broad choice of topics such as “Building a Culture of Entrepreneurship” and “Selecting the Right Business Model,” participants in this conference have an opportunity to learn how to create successful start-up companies and generate new jobs. There is a great line-up of speakers, and student entrepreneurs will be featured in at least one break-out session. A group of five student start-up companies was sponsored by Wayne State during the summer, and they have some bright ideas for developing businesses, some of which build on research and technology developed at the university.

For more information (agenda, speakers, and cost of admission), visit e2detroit.wayne.edu.
