GCEC Baltimore 2021

Leading with Entrepreneurship: Succeeding in Revitalization

October 13-16, 2021

Welcome to Baltimore, where our dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem, charming arts and entertainment scene, and 13 universities are the campus for the worldʼs premier entrepreneurship centers to convene, learn, and celebrate with GCEC in fall 2021.

As your hosts, Loyola University Maryland and the University of Baltimore will feature GCEC membersʼ success stories in entrepreneurship and innovation in the pursuit of revitalization. Weʼll showcase higher educationʼs role in the urgent movement to support underrepresented entrepreneurs who have been most impacted by economic crisis and hold the most potential for growth. All centers will welcome discussion on how to stay relevant when campus finances are in jeopardy, and how GCEC members play a leadership role in revitalizing both higher education, and our economy, in recovery.
