UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Suggestions are currently being sought for speakers to participate in 2018 Penn State Startup Week.

Penn State Startup Week is a week-long celebration that brings entrepreneurs and innovative thought leaders to campus for workshops, networking opportunities, student pitch competitions, and talks from startup founders. This year’s event will be held March 26-30, 2018, on the University Park campus.

Speakers can come from any industry and hold any job title, though there is a preference for Penn State alumni and individuals who work in companies with fewer than 100 employees. Past speakers have included leaders from organizations like Weebly, Reddit, Dropbox, Scribd and Twitch.

Individuals can submit speaker recommendations by completing an online form.
