Dear Entrepreneurship Community,

We only have 5 spots left for the Health in Entrepreneurship Conference – please email Tim Michaelis (tmichaelis@niu.edu) if you are interested in attending. An agenda of the conference is attached to see all speakers and sessions.

The 2^nd annual conference dedicated to scholarly work on topics related to health and entrepreneurship will be this October (13^th and 14^th) in Chicago, IL. The conference is designed to be a small research forum (capped at 50 people) where researchers can share their work in more detail with like-minded scholars and to foster collaborations for disseminating high quality research related to health in the process of new venture creation. We will have one panel consisting of entrepreneurs to candidly discuss how we can advance work related to health in entrepreneurship.

The Health in Entrepreneurship Conference will be hosted in downtown Chicago, IL, at MATTER (https://matter.health/), a healthcare accelerator and incubator and at DePaul’s Coleman Center for Entrepreneurship (https://business.depaul.edu/about/centers-institutes/coleman-entrepreneurship-center/).
