Starting Point, a Student Entrepreneur Conference, is being held at St Mary’s University (SMU) in Halifax, NS from Feb 18-20, 2015. This year’s theme is “Revolutionary Ideas Change the World”.
This conference offers amazing speakers, “Funder Speed Dating”, Master Classes, an Ideation Tournament, and the chance to win prizes and maybe even some cash for your business.
