Entrepreneurship & Creativity meets Inspiration & Innovation: An Evening with Tina Seelig
Bay Area Women in Film and Media* and Girls in Tech are proud to bring Tina Seelig, Executive Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program and acclaimed author for this "one night only" special event.
Women working in the world of start-ups and film/media making have a commonality: both are all about where entrepreneurship meets creativity!
This co-presented event will feature a lively discussion of Tina Seelig's latest book: "What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World"** along with an exploration of innovation that Seelig says "is all about turning problems into opportunities, and entrepreneurship "an extreme sport that's all about getting out there & doing it." The event will also provide attendees with inside access to one of the most sought after business school directors in the country.
Come join us for a this unique opportunity to mix with women leaders, collaborators and colleagues in media, film and hi-tech while Tina offers some provocative lessons gleaned from Seelig's tenure in both the corporate and academic worlds, along with some untraditional advice inspired by leading business figures like Apple creator Steve Jobs.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 7:00 p.m. Wine and snacks will be provided.
A BIG thanks goes out to Adaptive Path for hosting the event.
