About NEW END

VISION

NEW END is an event dedicated to the specific needs of entrepreneurs by celebrating the entrepreneurial lifestyle during a motivating, inspirational day combining networking, education, and collaboration throughout the New North with the purpose of evolving the economy and our way of life.

HISTORY

NEW END was conceived by a chemical engineer who was downsized from a large Northeastern Wisconsin corporation. The engineer completed the E-Seed entrepreneurial training program offered by the Venture Center at Fox Valley Technical College, launched two businesses, and became involved in entrepreneurial activities in the region.

The engineer, now turned entrepreneur, in conjunction with what would become the NEW END steering team, recognized the need for networking, educational, and collaborative opportunities focused on the unique needs of entrepreneurs in the New North. With support from Fox Valley Technical College, generous sponsors, and hard working volunteers, NEW END became a reality in the Spring of 2005.

In 2008, NEW END teamed with the New North to present “A Date to Collaborate: Summit 2008”. This groundbreaking partnership between economic development, education, and business resulted in over 800 attendees from throughout the region converging to learn, network, and grow.

Now in it’s fifth year, NEW END continues to successfully bring together entrepreneurs and innovators for a variety of outcomes:

• Provide Networking opportunities for entrepreneurs
• Provide Learning opportunities for entrepreneurs
• Provide a National Scope for New North Entrepreneurs
• Provide greater understanding of the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle
