I was talking with Howie Rhee over at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business yesterday and he was telling me about the inaugural Entrepreneurship Week at Duke. It looks like it will be a great event. The goal of the week is to encourage entrepreneurship at Duke in many different industries - life sciences, web 2.0, social, environmental, etc.
They are having about 10 events in six days, starting December 3rd. Howie expects up to 500 people to attend throughout the week.
While the event is mainly targeted at Duke students, the venture and entrepreneurial communities are invited. You can attend the entire week for $89.
