MADISON – From college graduate students to young people in middle or high school, registration discounts are available to attend the 14th annual Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference, June 7-8 in Madison.
Students may attend the full conference, which includes two breakfasts, two lunches and an evening reception, for $60. That rate compares to the full conference fee of $249 and is made possible by conference sponsors at all levels.
“It’s a great way for students who have an interest in technology and entrepreneurism to see first-hand what others are doing,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council, which is producing the event. “Many of those present will be students themselves, so attending offers peer-to-peer learning as well as the opportunity to network with some of Wisconsin’s best entrepreneurs and investors.”
