At BizCamp, we start the day with an empty schedule and a lot of index cards, and participants are invited to fill in a card and put it on the schedule. Whether it’s a topic on which you’re an expert or a problem area you’d like to discuss, you can claim a room and block of time, and other folks interested in the topic will show up to share ideas too! We’ll also invite a few leaders from the local business community to give advice on the available sources of funding and mentorship that have sprung up in the last year.

The event is free, and a free lunch will be provided.

BizCamp is co-sponsored by 504ward, the Black MBA Association of New Orleans, GNO Inc., Launch Pad, Net Squared New Orleans, Social Entrepreneurs of New Orleans, and the Urban League of New Orleans’ Women’s Business Resource Center.
