Sage to Participate in 2011 Future of Entrepreneurship Education Summit in Washington, D.C.
ATLANTA, GA (Nov. 17, 2011)—Sage North America announced today that it will serve as a sponsor of the 2011 Future of Entrepreneurship Education Summit in Washington, D.C. from November 17-19.
The Future of Entrepreneurship Education Summit is the world’s largest, invitation-only event that convenes top leaders from different sectors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem to collaborate for the purpose of solving the pressing issues they face. The Summit is a featured event of Global Entrepreneurship Week; its vision is to help make entrepreneurship a viable career pathway, and in so doing, help solve the job crisis.
“As a business management software provider to small and midsized businesses, Sage is a proud advocate of the entrepreneurial spirit,” said Connie Certusi, executive vice president for Small Business Accounting Solutions, Sage. “We are excited to participate at the Future of Entrepreneurship Education Summit in support of current and future entrepreneurs.”
This unconventional event will provide three days of activities addressing a range of themes through keynotes, interactive roundtable sessions and panels. Attendees will have the opportunity to create an ‘entrepreneurship economic stimulus plan’ based on a compilation of all the presentations and discussions from the Summit, which will focus on answering one simple question: “How can the entrepreneurship ecosystem help return the economy back to full employment?” Each of the nearly 300 participants has been handpicked for his or her world class expertise in a particular area of the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
By the end of the Summit, the top ideas will be showcased on the Summit website and the public will be invited to contribute and turn them into a reality.
