Summer Workshop

This was the second conference put on by the Alberta Innovates Technology Futures for the three iGEM teams from Alberta. It was great to be able to communicate with the other two teams and see how their projects were progressing. On Saturday we spent the day with two entrepreneurs, and on Sunday we DID SOMETHING BUT I CANNOT REMEMBER. MUST ASK OTHER TEAM MEMBERS.

Saturday

On Saturday, we participated in an entrepeneurship workshop hosted by Randy Thompson and Don Chapman. Randy and Don taught us about market analysis (the first step in creating a successful company), the value of believing in your product, marketing, sales, 30 second sales pitches, how to be an interesting speaker, intellectual property and other start-up costs, and the make-up of an entrepreneur. They also amused us with their stories and we learned a lot.
