International Conference on Business Incubation

Celebrating 25 Years

May 16-19, 2010
Orlando, Florida

NBIA’s International Conference on Business Incubation is the premier gathering for incubation practitioners worldwide. Each year, incubation and economic development professionals from across the globe get together at conference to participate in in-depth workshops, educational sessions, roundtable discussions and networking activities. The conference provides a way for those in the industry to meet and explore strategies for providing entrepreneurial support. Individuals connect by sharing experiences and stories about their common challenges, and learn techniques and tips to further their incubation programs.

This year’s conference will take place May 16-19, 2010, in Orlando, Fla. During the Orlando conference, we will be celebrating NBIA’s 25th anniversary. The conference will feature more than 60 concurrent sessions in which experienced professionals will make presentations and lead discussions about incubation and other related topics. The Preconference Institute will offer workshops for attendees of every experience level. Other conference activities include the 25th Anniversary Reception, keynote addresses and tours of nearby incubators.
