Dozens of innovators, many of them college entrepreneurs, will present their research and findings to guests at the event, in addition to two speakers who will share their own stories and insight about the future of technology. Over 500 attendees are expected who will be able to network with some of the Lab’s corporate members who seek fresh skills and ideas.
