If you are an undergraduate with a great business idea, we've got exciting news for you. We are beginning the countdown to e-Fest 2024, April 18-20, with the e-Fest Lightbulb Lunch & Learn Webinar Series! It's not too early to start planning for the competition, which since 2014 has given undergraduate innovators a shot at more than $200,000 in prize money to help fund their ventures. You can learn more about e-Fest here.

These monthly interactive panel discussions will walk you through what you need to know to prepare your team to submit to e-Fest 2024. From important dates to advice from judges, each Lightbulb Lunch & Learn webinar provides useful information, helpful tips, and a panel of e-Fest experts.

The series kicks off with the Roadmap to e-Fest webinar on Thursday September 21st. Our team will review important dates for e-Fest 2024 and impactful resources for students and faculty. This intro webinar gives a high level overview of everything you need to know about e-Fest. Register here: Roadmap to e-Fest
