Participants in the summit will have the opportunity to network with colleagues from across sectors. Those in attendance will be able to take part in powerful, thought-provoking roundtables and learn from lively panel discussions that present multiple perspectives on the role of social entrepreneurship in the new global economy.

“Exposing students to social entrepreneurs and innovators from around the city, country and world is important because it can help open their eyes to new opportunities,” Mitisek says. “Want to change the world? Want to tackle problems from multiple angles? Learning about social entrepreneurship provides insight into careers that span academic disciplines and business sectors.”

That epitomizes what Project X-ITE is all about, a cross-disciplinary initiative focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and technology. The collaboration at �������ֳ� brings together the��, the����and the Daniels College of Business.

The daylong summit features multiple fireside chats, roundtables and large group discussions. “If you only have an hour to spare, then come down any time, and I can promise you’ll leave having learned something new, heard some exciting ideas and met some incredible people,” Mitisek says.

“We want �������ֳ� to be recognized as an essential aspect of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Denver,” Chrite says. “We hope this event will add to the vitality of our academic activities and will enable reciprocal and mutually beneficial interactions with external partners in order to ‘co-create’ a unique and compelling student experience here on campus.”

Mitisek agrees, noting that between the uniqueness of this event and �������ֳ�’s location in the heart of Denver, this is an opportunity for students to learn about social entrepreneurship they cannot miss. “I hope that students will leave feeling empowered and recognize that they don’t have to choose between being capital or purpose-driven,” Mitisek says. “Right here in Denver we have some of the most innovative social entrepreneurs in the world. This city is bubbling with passion and creativity and students have access to all of that.”
