The event is free and open to the public and will include keynote speeches by John Sibley Butler, Ph.D., director of The Kelleher Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Texas at Austin and Kim M. Williams, Ph.D., associate professor of public policy at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
