​Professors Steve Kaplan and Mark Tebbe will share best practices for constructing a feasibility summary and provide information on the NVC.

​Prior to the presentation, you are invited to a quick pitch session where you can share your idea or look for a team to join. Students pitching will have 60 seconds to describe their idea (no slides allowed), their accomplishments to date, and the skills they want to add to the team. The quick pitch session will be held from 5:00 – 5:30 p.m.

​All students interested in joining a team are encouraged to attend. Registration is required to pitch your idea as a presenter. You will be able to sign up to pitch at the registration desk.
