Freeman to host two New Orleans Entrepreneur Week events

New Orleans Entrepreneur Week, the annual festival celebrating local entrepreneurship and innovation, will take place March 20 - 27 at venues across the city, and in conjunction with those festivities, the Freeman School is hosting two special events.

On Monday, March 23, the semifinal round of the 2015 Tulane Business Model Competition will take place at the Chicory, located at 610 S. Peters Street in the Warehouse District. Join us from 2:30 to 5 p.m. as our six semifinalists -- Campus Bee, Disease Diagnostic Group, eStaffMatch Inc., Soterias Medical, REEcycle Inc. and D&P Bioinnovations -- pitch their ventures to a panel of judges for the chance to compete in the finals for $35,000 in cash prizes.

Following the competition, the Tulane Association of Business Alumni (TABA) and the Levy-Rosenblum Institute for Entrepreneurship invite you to a reception at Desi Vega’s Steakhouse in honor of New Orleans Entrepreneur Week and this year's  Tulane Business Model Competition semifinalists. The reception is open to Freeman School alumni and will take place from 5 to 7 p.m.
