Our first event with MIT was an absolute success! With a breathtaking view of the Boston skyline as our backdrop, we brought together the innovation community and 10 new startups tackling innovation and process improvement.
MIT Sloan Executive Education sponsored the event, and shared with our guests information on their 40+ short non-degree programs led by internationally renowned experts from MIT Sloan School of Management and other MIT schools and research centers. Among the experts from MIT were the MIT Sloan Fellows program, Matthew Kressy's IDM, MIT Professional Education and the MIT Executive MBA.
Did you notice? The four presenters who won the online vote ahead of the event were all startups with women founders! Check out our Storify if you weren't able to make it.
