Theme: New Possibilities

Every October in Washington DC, leading members of the entrepreneurship research and public policy communities come together to discuss the latest trends in business creation. This year is no different as we focus on New Possibilities. The 4th annual GW-ICSB conference sheds light on the vast infrastructure of public data available for generating new ideas and building new businesses. Public policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and students will have the unique opportunity to discuss current issues and the latest advances in business creation with key decision makers.

This conference focuses on five (5) main components:

  1. A database fair with a full day of opportunities for informal discussions with database originators.
  2. Keynote speakers discussing the latest policy issues, with networking opportunities for various stakeholders.
  3. Training Sessions on business development, entrepreneurial education and established data sets. [e.g. OPIC, GEM, PSED, others]
  4. Presentation of scholarly work on business creation from around the world.
  5. ICSB Foundation Black Tie Gala and presentation of the Three Luminaries Awards at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
