U.S. Department of State to Host Google+ Hangout to Preview the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Summit
Media Note
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Public Affairs will host a Google+ Hangout to discuss the power of entrepreneurship in advance of the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Summit taking place November 19-21 in Marrakech, Morocco, coordinated by the Office of Global Entrepreneurship Programs on October 29, at 10:30 a.m. (EDT).
Global Entrepreneurship Programs Director Caron De Mars will moderate, joining two entrepreneurs who participated in last year’s Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in the conversation: Kenyan entrepreneur, Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) alum, and 2013 Summit speaker Kate Kiguru, who founded a platform that helps organizations manage mobile workforces, and Kenyan Chris Asego, who won second place at the 2013 GIST Tech-I Competition for helping poor African families afford education through a pay as you learn phone app. Also joining the hangout is Jonathon Purrelli, an entrepreneur, early-stage technology investor, and recently a filmmaker of the documentary “Start Up Land.”
The Hangout will be broadcast live at 10:30 a.m. EDT on the U.S. Department of State’s Google+ page and YouTube channel. Questions can be submitted in advance on the Google+ page and via Twitter by using #GES2014.
The fifth annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit will convene thousands of participants to network one-on-one with each other and to hear from dozens of speakers. This year’s theme, “Harnessing the Power of Technology for Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” aims to recognize that technology at every level is changing how entrepreneurs do business.
