IDEA Con: New England’s Largest Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference
Join us for IDEA Con, New England’s largest student innovation and entrepreneurship conference! Hosted at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business and online on February 26, IDEA Con welcomes students and recent graduates from across New England for a day of inspiration, skill-building, and connection.
A core value of the conference is to look at entrepreneurship and innovation across all industries, including creative entrepreneurship and the arts. Artist-entrepreneur Anj Fayemi will be speaking about the platform he is building for musicians to connect with fans and will also be performing a rap he composed in honor of this year’s IDEA Con. We have a workshop focused on creativity (o-led by BU Arts Admin professor Wendy Swart Grossman and another on building values-based startups, both of which feature speakers who are artists. Our keynote speaker, Vanessa Clark of Atomos Space, will also host a fireside chat in dialogue with Sloan-Foundation award-winning playwright Kira Rockwell, a BU graduate, who is currently writing a play about the space industry. Virtual and in-person tickets are free and can be accessed at ideacon2022.com.
