The working session of the event begins at 4:00 PM, followed by a reception and dinner.

Expanding regional talent pool and mentor networks – 4 PM
Moderator: Calvin Milbury, President & CEO, NBIF

PropelICT and the New Brunswick Business Council have done great work boosting NB’s talent and mentorship networks. How can we strengthen talent and mentorship networks across the region?

Early adopters: encouraging large companies and governments to adopt new tech developed in the region – 5 PM
Moderator: Gerry Pond, Chairman, East Valley Ventures

What is the best way to encourage governments and large companies to adopt new technology being developed in the region? Would an education program help? A registry of early adopters? A certificate recognizing and thanking early adopters?

We are looking for a roomful of people passionate about the startup ecosystem so we’ll have a lively discussion resulting in concrete proposals, voluntary leaders/champions for same, and follow-up mechanisms. Entrevestor will communicate the results to, and seek feedback from the broader community.

Tickets for the discussion sessions and dinner is $75 and can be purchased here until May 8th. Space is very limited so we suggest you book early.
