After two years of being online, we are excited to announce that the Ninth Annual California Entrepreneurship Educators Conference is back in person! Join San Diego State University’s Lavin Entrepreneurship Center for three days of meaningful experiences that will transform your approach as professional educators and researchers.
The 2023 CEEC theme is ReEngage. In recent years, entrepreneurship educators and researchers have experienced unprecedented levels of change due to the Covid-19 pandemic, emerging industry 4.0 technologies, calls for a greater emphasis on sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion. Our challenge has been to both define and adjust to a new normal environment brought on by these global trends. Such powerful forces require creative thinking and a willingness to adapt.
At 2023 CEEC: ReEngage we will bring together leading educators and researchers in our field to share best practices with our conference participants. Towards this end, we invite all interested educators, and researchers to consider submitting a proposal to participate on the conference agenda.
