Last week, we told you that MPI Chairman Sébastien Tondeur received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year award for his work in the meeting industry. And maybe that sparked an interest in you about entrepreneurship. 

Well, guess what. There's a week dedicated to just that. Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch start-ups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare.

During one week, November 14-20 this year, GEW inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. These activities, from large-scale competitions and events to intimate networking gatherings, connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors—introducing them to new possibilities and exciting opportunities.
