One of the most powerful tools for an entrepreneur is being connected to the right resources when they are needed most. Timely Topics, a series hosted by the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, features panels of speakers, workshops to engage our entrepreneurs, and fireside chats with successful business leaders. These sessions are a way for CCEI to provide ongoing opportunities for students, faculty, and alumni entrepreneurs to learn, grow, and connect.
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming in the new! Get ready for the next chapter of Timely Topics as it forges deeper connections with its community, addresses contemporary topics, and has a lot of fun along the way. Join Jen and Rory as they discuss the new direction it will be taking, and reflect on what we’ve learned from the series over the past two years.
