Join a round table discussion of the critical success factors for any one or group starting a business. There will be a hand out for you to fill in. We will go around the room engaging each entrepreneur to share their answers to these essential questions. 
 
This is not a sit down and listen seminar. This is a roll up your sleeves and collaborate with others as you refine or define what your business is, who do you serve, and how do you expect to get customers.
 
This workshop is Part II of the original workshop that took place on June 26th. You did not have to attended the first part of this workshop to attend the second part. This workshop is open to everyone.

This workshop is FREE. 

Today’s teenagers have grown up with social network technologies that affect how they think about privacy, companionship and the nature of friendship. Sherry Turkle, MIT’s Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, will speak about intimacy without privacy, democracy without privacy. With such technology, are we more together or alone? A reception and book signing will follow the 5 p.m. lecture in the Salomon Center for Teaching, De Ciccio Family Auditorium.
