Based on feedback from a few of you (thank you!) who responded to the question regarding UNL’s Center for Entrepreneurship separating out a separate evening for high school and 2 year postsecondary on Wednesday, November 2^nd, they have decided NOT to do that this year. Instead, they will keep everything on November 3^rd, (separate competition suites for high school, 2 year and 4 year postsecondary).

Wednesday evenings, coupled with the timing close to some of the CTSO fall regional conferences made November 2^nd questionable. At some point in the future, I’m going to try to host a conversation between the Eship Center and some of you to explore how/when they could best engage CTE students and CTSO members with this event and other activities they host.

That said, please still encourage your teachers/advisers in the Lincoln/Omaha/Southeast Nebraska general area to consider participating. It’s an awesome event, set in the East Stadium Skybox Suites, and a great opportunity to network and for students to present a really simple quick pitch for a possible $1,000 prize.

8TH ANNUAL 3-2-1 QUICK PITCH COMPETITION

November 3, 2016 • Skybox Suites of Memorial Stadium

The 3-2-1 Quick Pitch Competition gives all Nebraska high school, 2 year college, and 4 year college students an opportunity to showcase their entrepreneurial, communication, and presentation skills through a short “quick pitch” proposal for a new business venture. Students will apply and then be invited to present their pitches, be evaluated, and receive feedback on the effectiveness of their pitch from a panel of entrepreneurially-minded experts from across Nebraska. Six cash prizes of $1,000 will be awarded. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
