On August 27th we launched our first BizWorld.org Speaker Series event on the topic of “Fostering a Culture of Innovation”. This was the first in a series of panel discussion and networking events intended to bring people together who share our passion for developing an entrepreneurial mindset in children.

A huge thank you goes out to our knowledgeable panelists Ross Mistry (Microsoft), Kim Vu (Bank of America), John Rampton (Entrepreneur) and Gurdip Jande (SMART). Our wonderful moderator, David Ahrens, led the panel in an informative conversation about innovation and how it has become a vital component in shaping our corporate and social landscape. Our guests lingered long afterwards and kept the conversation going over some quality networking.

Thank you our sponsors, Charles Schwab and PG&E, who made the evening possible. We are very grateful for their generosity and support.

Our next Speaker Series event will take place on January 13, 2016, and will focus on the Future of Education. We are thrilled to be co-hosting with our friends at the Italian International School, La Scuola. We will be joined by special guest speaker, Vivek Wadhwa, a well know academic, researcher, writer and entrepreneur.

Stay tuned for more information and join us as these short talks spark big ideas that shape the future for generations to come. We look forward to seeing you in January!
