h2. History
!(floatleft)/images/9.jpg (Crowds of eager entrepreneurs heading to an Entrepreneur 27 conference.)! We started out with a simple idea. Because it is always exciting to see what young entrepreneurs create, we wanted to initiate a conference especially geared toward these college students and young professionals. We didn’t want attendants to pay a lot of money to meet old people in a stuffy setting. Rather, together with BASES, we wanted to host a free event that provides a chance for young adults to gain some exposure, knowledge, and inspiration not only to the tech industry, but to what it’s like being your own boss.
h2. Mission Statement
At Entrepreneur 27, we aim to:
* Create an open forum for the stimulation and exchange of ideas
* Generate opportunities to learn and inspire each other
* Promote entrepreneurship in the technology area
h2. Why 27?
After extensive research and studying trends, we found that most successful entrepreneurs have been under 27
Here’s what you should get out of this conference:
* Learn how our speakers did what they did, the challenges they overcame, what motivated them, and what they are doing now.
* What it is like to run your own company
* Meet other people with similar ideas and passions
