“Frontiers of Entrepreneurship” is an event focused on entrepreneurship education … and so much more.

As a member of the Trust Center, you’ll have access to three days of content, networking, meetings, thought leadership, and an experience that could only be provided by  the Trust Center and MIT.

During “Frontiers of Entrepreneurship: Raising the Bar,” a two-day event focused on entrepreneurship education, you’ll be immersed in discussions on:

  • the process by which we teach entrepreneurship to students
  • the ecosystems we as educators aim to help foster, grow, and service; and
  • the future of how the next generation of students learn to become resilient entrepreneurs and create impact in the world.

The third day — “Frontiers of Entrepreneurship: Bend the Vector” — is a unique salon-style event with an invitation-only guest leader including 20 unicorn founders, Nobel, Pulitzer, Grammy, and Oscars prize winners, a dozen-plus best-selling authors, and leaders and creative thinkers like yourself. This day won’t be panels talking to the audience; it will be a room of people coming together to engage in discussions on how we can positively bend the vector of progress using entrepreneurship in key areas affecting our world today.

Bend the Vector

Thursday April 25 

Our schedule for Bend the Vector isn’t really a schedule, given the nature of the event. It will be a concentrated morning of roundtable discussions on a wide-range of topics, dictated by the people in the room. Areas of focus will include:

  • Climate
  • Social mobility
  • Mental & physical wellness
  • Healthcare
  • Economic prosperity
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Biotech
  • The role of government

No preparation is required. Attendees will rotate through three different sessions during the morning with the discussion shaped by the participants and a facilitator. We expect this brand new Trust Center offering to be incredibly stimulating as well as tremendously productive. Please join us.
