SkyDeck, 2150 Shattuck Ave.

For curious Berkeley grad students, postdocs, faculty, accelerators, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and administrators to come together and explore the future we want to create for the university and entrepreneurship. What opportunities currently exist, and how can we foster an experience of entrepreneurial education and practice that is inclusive and transdisciplinary?

The event will include two panel discussions, a breakout discussion, and a networking session. The first panel includes executive leadership from UC Berkeley, and the second panel includes leadership from incubators, accelerators, and entrepreneurial research fellowship programs, including SkyDeck, Cyclotron Road, CITRIS, QB3, and Educators for Fair Consideration (E4FC).

Join the university, entrepreneurial leaders, and interested colleagues for a stimulating and important discussion that will help shape the landscape of opportunities into the future.
