Entrepreneurship Forum

What would you give for the ability to tap into a group of fellow entrepreneurs who can offer you direction based on their experiences? Our Entrepreneurship Forum Series is designed to meet your unique needs as an entrepreneur and help you reach new measures of success and significance. Our forums are a vital link between the university and the community that unify entrepreneurs towards the common good of creating a better world.

Our forum series offers widely diversified topics in areas of innovation and entrepreneurship that allow you to dig deep, personally and professionally, in a safe environment open to students and the San Luis Obispo community. Targeted to startups and growing small businesses, the forums bring together a panel of expert entrepreneurs offering key insight on entrepreneurial challenges and models of success, followed by an interactive session.

The forums are free and open to the public; however, we need your financial support to help ensure these unique and meaningful events continue for everyone. So, if you believe it’s important to provide a place for students, educators, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to connect, be engaged and inspired – we encourage you to become a Pioneer! Pioneer members will automatically be registered for all forums. Throughout the year, Pioneers will also be invited to special industry events, and gain special recognition.
