The 2011 Global Summit on Educating Entrepreneurs hosted 109 delegates from 20 countries from June 16-17. This was a fantastic forum for exchanging ideas on entrepreneurship training program and sharing best practices. The diverse audience came from academia, the non-profit sector, development agencies, and government agencies.

We look forward to hosting the event again in June 2013. If you are interested in presenting at this event in 2013 or if you have ideas on topics you would like to see covered, email us at: EntrepreneurshipSummit@umich.edu
