December 13, 2009 "We're all 'green' when we have a new idea"
Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Syracuse, NY
2:30-5:30 PM
Ideas shape the course of history. All great fortunes begin with an idea. Many great thinkers were told their ideas were crazy, but in fact most new ideas DO look crazy at first.
Spend some time with Marci Sonneborn from CNY Technology Development and go through some activities to help you expand and develop your business idea so you can submit it to the MDA's Business Idea Competition. Be part of this unique opportunity to open your brain to new ways of looking at things and go through a process of generating an idea that could win!
