Does anybody reading this not know about the upcoming Entrepreneurship Week happening November 5th through November 9th? Sponsored by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Techpoint, Entrepreneurship Week encompasses a variety of events happening around the state, everything from an Entrepreneurship Bootcamp at the University of Southern Indiana to an elevator pitch competition in Muncie.

The pinnacle of the week is Thursday, November 8th which has been dubbed "Indiana Entrepreneurship and Innovation Day" and includes a day's worth of free activities happening at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Two elevator pitch competitions - Venture Idol and Collegiate Idol - will showcase some of Indiana's latest commercial innovations as well as its up and coming, plus a number of presenters will be providing invaluable information to entrepreneurs throughout the day.(for a list of the Venture Idol Contestants check out the Venture Club's website, for the Collegiate Idol, we'll just have to wait and see) I think even the most savvy and well-informed entrepreneurs have something to gain from hearing about Indiana's grant programs and new IP and patent tax laws - not to mention the networking opportunities. 

The price seems right (did I mention its free?) so you can bet I'll be there, hopefully with a camera because I'm sure there will be an Indiana Entrepreneur story or two.
