Infusing Innovation & Entrepreneurship into Today’s Higher
Education Date: June 28, 2017 Time: 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Location:
Embassy Suites - Saratoga Springs, NY Why Attend This
Conference? The theme of the conference is Infusing Innovation &
Entrepreneurship into Today’s Higher Education. It is very clear to
many experts that the way we educate students is becoming more
obsolete based on the coming employment shift. For educational
institutions to remain viable they must teach a whole new career
mentality that includes innovation, problem solving, entrepreneurship,
and value creation. Better to take action now than wait until it is
too late. Who Should Attend This Conference? This event is designed
for those who hold leadership positions in higher education and are
tasked with responding and leading through internal and external
change. About The Avanti Entrepreneur Group The Avanti
