New Orleans

In mid-March, cutting edge creative business minds in the arts, biosciences, digital media, and sustainability fields will meet in New Orleans for a program that merges the city’s character with fresh and inventive entrepreneurship. Twenty five individuals will be selected for an all expenses trip – that includes airfare, transportation, meals, and room and board – that will provide them with special access to New Orleans Entrepreneur Week events, which includes the opportunity to meet with leaders in respected industries as well as an immersion in the local richness of New Orleans’s people and culture. Applications are open through this Friday, December 16, at benolabound.com.
