Launch Fest 2010 Impact Report
We had a very exciting 2010 Launch Fest with a lot of passionate entrepreneurs. Take a look at the impact of the conference in our Impact Report below.
Launch Fest featured three days of half-day conference sessions between the two weekends of Jazz Fest. Topics included social entrepreneurship, straight-talk with local entrepreneurs, and a pitch session to get companies funded. Of course, in the spirit of Jazz Fest we had four nights of mixers, music, and fun topics. Free and open to the public, the sessions were be held at the IP building. With Launch Fest, we put a new twist on the annual right of spring in New Orleans.
Please see the Launch Fest Impact Report below. In addition, we wanted to share all of the media from the event:
