Day 2 - Deep Dive and Fun

























The afternoon session was no let up. We were on our toes, literally.

There were many sessions. One key session was Jonathan leading everyone to think through setting up action groups or task forces around specific problems on catayzing entrepreneurship.

We had many suggestions for task forces - Asia Pacific Region Collaboration, Global Media and PR, Sponsorships, African Country Groupings etc etc. I also went ahead and suggested Small Business Cross Border Collaborations.

So, Scott Cain (Deputy CEO of Make Your Mark ) and I will be leading this initiative.

I will be in London sometime at the end of the month and will have a more detailed discussion with Scott on how we can do this for our partners.

We also had Host MOU Signing ceremonies where Jonathan was the gracious host : signing and taking photos with all the hosts. The photo of us signing is with the Kauffman official photographer and another was taken by NUS. Will post that soon when I get it ;-)

In the evening there was a gala dinner hosted at the National World War 1 Museum at Liberty Memorial.

The evening was much fun and laughter where everyone shared their lighter part of hosting GEW.

More soon...
