The Wharton Entrepreneurship Club and the Wharton Graduate Association are proud to present the 10th Annual Wharton Entrepreneurship Conference - one of the East Coast's largest and most widely attended annual Entrepreneurship Conferences. Last year's conference attracted over 500 attendees and this year we anticipate increasing our audience to exceed more than 700 entrepreneurs, business leaders and students.
This year's theme for the Wharton Entrepreneurship Conference continues to exemplify the global spirit of entrepreneurship. The conference will focus on entrepreneurial success stories of humble beginnings leading to great successes. By presenting an array of panels covering different paths to entrepreneurship, industry trends and personal success stories we will engage the entrepreneurial community in a dialogue that motivates them to "start small, FINISH BIG". We invite you to share the learning and experience of our distinguished panelists and start the journey to unleash your true potential.
