| Description: | Laurence A. Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship Presents 2012 Entrepreneur Conference The Crowdsourcing Entrepreneur: Going Platinum June 6, 2012 World Cafe Live 3025 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 In a September 2009 article in Forbes, entitled The Myth of Crowdsourcing: Crowds don't innovate - individuals do, Dan Woods argues, “There is no crowd in crowdsourcing. There are only virtuosos…” Some 32 months later, the concept of crowdsourcing continues to build momentum. What does it mean, and how does it work? Is it a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to scale their businesses or just another social mechanism that appeals to our need to affiliate? Regional business professionals and the entire Drexel community are invited to attend the 2012 Entrepreneur Conference to join in an engaging and unique discussion regarding the power of crowdsourcing. This event also features the Baiada Incubator Competition presentations and awards ceremony.
