NBIA 25 th Training Institute September 8 11, 2015 Orlando, FL The premier training forum for leaders of business incubators, accelerators and entrepreneurship programs. Connect with a global network of entrepreneurial ecosystem leaders and industry veterans.
Introduction For 25 years, the NBIA s Training Institute has brought incubation and entrepreneurial ecosystem professionals the most in-depth industry programming available, and this year, we have expanded our course catalog with a variety of new topics. With over 150 attendees expected to take advantage of the NBIA s intensive training programs, you have a diverse mix of facility directors, program managers and purchasing influencers to connect with while also gaining exposure to your products and services. Our attendees have direct purchasing authority for their centers and programs, as well as access and influence over diverse portfolios of small businesses and technology startups, many of which are ideal targets for your products and services. By gaining exposure to this global network of purchasing influencers during the Training Institute, you have the opportunity to influence those who directly support a broad network of thriving start-up companies. The lessons learned from the sessions and other incubator professionals made available to me at the NBIA events saved us from making big mistakes and gave us ideas that made the program excel in an unbelievably short amount of time. Tom O Neal, Executive Director University of Central Florida Incubation Program, Orlando, Fla. NBIA s 2004 Incubator of the Year 2
