Making its debut for the first time this June 2013; Crowd Sourcing Week is a 5 day excursion of events focused on how "Crowds" are taking business models to new heights, collaborating and innovating at the enterprise level. Hosted in Singapore, a variety of speakers have donated their time to build upon this event.With more than 30 sessions planned that feature case studies, keynotes and panel discussions businessmen around the world can look to this week as a productive one. They also have themes dedicated to each day. I expect this to be a great opportunity for both learning and networking. As of right now they have a brief overview of what is to be expected at this event, but based on the array of speakers and topics covered throughout we can expect a show. As the event comes closer, we will learn more.
Schedule:
Day 1: Government, Architecture & Urban Planning
Day 2: Marketing, Advertising, Design and Media
Day 3: Healthcare, Science and Technology
Day 4: Crowdfunding & New Business Models + Startup Competition
Day 5: Tourism, New Product Development, Fashion & Film
Along with the exhibitions, a competition sponsored by RocketHub, allows entrepreneurs all over the globe are invited to pitch their innovative business plans to earn $30,000 to get off the ground. The top three finalists will be featured at this years Crowd Sourcing Week. RocketHub, like Kickstarter is a pledge-driven Crowd Funding website that looks to help regular people get their start by giving them a platform to raise money. Through RocketHub, the applicants are tasked to submit their business plans and will be picked by a panel of venture capitalists and start-up mentors for which they believe have the most potential for success.
