3rd Annual Womens Entrepreneur Festival is ready for applications!

We3_logo_redI am thrilled to announce the 3rd annual Womens Entrepreneur Festival.  It will take place on January 22 and 23rd.  A huge thanks to the Huffington Post for sponsoring this event so we can have Live Stream live stream. 

In the last two years many businesses have started after this festival because people have found their business partners, mentors at all stages and the support system to just do it.

Here is the landing page:

We are happy to announce ITP’s third annual Women Entrepreneurs Festival.

WE3: Getting Down To Business

Tuesday, January 22 and Wednesday, January 23, 2013!
Hosted by ITP, NYU.

No matter what stage your business is in – just starting, recently launched, ready to scale – this year’s festival is designed for you. There is nothing more important to an entrepreneur than good information, sound advice, a supportive and generous community of peers, and great conversation. This year we focus on the nuts and bolts: what you need to know to make your business a success from people who have been where you are now.

The goal of the WE Festival remains the same. We hope to sow the seeds for a community of women entrepreneurs; to expose women who have not yet taken the entrepreneurial leap, the pre-entrepreneurs, to women who have.

Come ready to work! Attendance is limited to 300 participants. Find the application here. You will be notified if you have been accepted. Applications will be reviewed and acceptances made on a rolling basis. However, we recommend applying by November 20, 2012. Apply early – last year we had twice the number of qualified applicants than we could accept.

books of the moment

  • Rachel Kushner: The Flamethrowers: A Novel

    Rachel Kushner: The Flamethrowers: A Novel
    A beautiful intelligently written book that threads together NYC and Rome in the 1970's. The prose is just amazing. There is an underlying theme about lies and trust. The main character, Reno, whose eyes the book is written through is like a sponge taking in a world and essentially educating herself. I admit I did not love the ending and the book bounces around a bit although an interesting look at a time that bounced around too so the story defines those times.

  • Peggy Riley: Amity & Sorrow: A Novel

    Peggy Riley: Amity & Sorrow: A Novel
    A mother drives for days with her daughters and ends up in a random Oklahoma town after crashing the car. They come from a polygamous community where there were 50 wives. The mother had grown up knowing life outside that community. Over time, after leaving, she almost becomes deprogrammed. The realization of what she did to her daughters who no nothing outside the world they came from including how to read. Then there is the family that brought them in. It is a fascinating story. Well written. Worthy read.

  • Charles Graeber: The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder

    Charles Graeber: The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder
    An amazing true story of a male nurse who was arrested in 2002. I actually remember the story as I followed it in the papers. This nurse was a serial killer who had probably murdered over 400 patients that were under his care. A seriously well researched book. Great read.

  • Meg Wolitzer: The Interestings: A Novel

    Meg Wolitzer: The Interestings: A Novel
    Wolitzer writes about a group of camp friends who all come from different walks of life (some on scholarship) as their friendships continue through their mid-50s. At the beginning the story seems trite but as you continue to read there is a lot of be said. The story is sticking with me. She makes the case that everything that happens to you from your childhood makes an impact on who you become or don't become. Worthy read.

  • Elizabeth Strout: The Burgess Boys: A Novel

    Elizabeth Strout: The Burgess Boys: A Novel
    Strouts last book won a Pulitzer. She focuses on family issues. I enjoyed this book much more than Olive Ketteredge which I found utterly depressing. This book follows two brothers and a sister who live in the shadow of their fathers accidental death. Like most siblings, all have turned out very different yet they are connected. I did not love any of the characters, like her last book, yet as The Burgess Boys moves forward and memories are revealed, it is an interesting perspective on human character.

  • Tamara Shopsin: Mumbai New York Scranton: A Memoir

    Tamara Shopsin: Mumbai New York Scranton: A Memoir
    Great book. A witty spare inventive personal diary of Tamara journey from Indian to New York to Scranton. Really really enjoyed the book.

  • Michael Lavigne: The Wanting: A Novel

    Michael Lavigne: The Wanting: A Novel
    An incredible book that tells the human side of the many layered issues in the Middle East. From immigrating to Israel from Moscow, to being a victim of a suicide bomber yet surviving, to being pulled into an Israeli radical group. Each character is connected. Very layered well written book. Powerful

  • Alessandro Piol: Tech and the City: The Making of New York's Startup Community

    Alessandro Piol: Tech and the City: The Making of New York's Startup Community
    A history of the Internet that I lived through. Great job of recording what happened.

  • Amity Gaige: Schroder: A Novel

    Amity Gaige: Schroder: A Novel
    Not sure how much I loved this book. A father loses his child in divorce and decides to kidnap his own daughter. He is not a stable person but he obviously loves his daughter. His own childhood has made him a disconnected human being. An interesting journey but not sure I'd recommend.

  • Ernest Hemingway: The Old Man and the Sea

    Ernest Hemingway: The Old Man and the Sea
    Classic.
