Gateway23-2012a (click for info): Since its start in 1987, Saint Louis University’s Gateway Series for Entrepreneurship Research has been entrepreneurship’s “think tank” promoting advances in scholarship on entrepreneurship and related disciplines. At the Gateway conference, the keynote speaker lays a general foundation. The keynote address starts the meeting and provides a common frame of reference and point of departure. Then work will take place in small to medium sized groups exploring research and techniques applicable to the theme. The goal is to create an environment that maximizes opportunity for informal group discussion and provides connections and research opportunities for the participants. Other than the keynote speaker, no other Gateway participant needs to submit a paper to attend the conference.
The topic for the 2012 conference is: Technology Commercialization: Have we learned anything? The keynote address will be given by Kathleen Allen, of the USC Marshall School of Business.
