From Chairman, Alan Hall, "Let me give you a bit of background on Entrepreneurship Week. There are a number of national and global organizations that are promoting Entrepreneurship Week, and we delighted when they contacted Grow Utah Ventures to help. We're a nonprofit in the State of Utah focused on stimulating and encouraging entrepreneurships. I became a regional director of this event specifically in Utah. We are going in with USTAR, Zions Bank, and a number of other sponsors with a week-long set of activities beginning on the 17th of November running until Friday the 21st, giving speeches all over the state about entrepreneurship. We're encouraging cities and towns, schools, chambers of commerce, and universities to celebrate entrepreneurship, and to encourage it, hold classes on its, and do everything we can do to carry out the functions of celebration and networking. It's a big thing across the State of Utah. On Thursday, the 20th, we'll also have a day-long event which will have an angel track for angel investors, with classes and seminars to educate angels on how to invest in good companies, a concurrent entrepreneur track to talk to entrepreneurs about term sheets, valuations, and moving their business forward, and opportunities for angels and entrepreneurs to get together in various settings. We're hoping to have about 600 people, a mix of angels, entrepreneurs, and suppliers of services to those people." http://www.techrockies.com/story/0018155.html
