Peter Quinn, Executive Director for NWEN, thinks Entrepreneur University should be on the calendar of anyone looking to prepare for a very different 2009; and one lucky Seattle 2.0 reader will get to go for free. With cash tight and times uncertain Entrepreneur University offers an opportunity to double-down on your scrappy eIQ (entrepreneurial IQ) and come out a winner.

-
This year, the NWEN hosted event is taking advantage of the services provided by local startup Pathable to provide pre and post-event networking opportunities for attendees.
-
Attendees will have the opportunity to sharpen their No. 2 pencils and complete a Core Values Index assessment. Rumor has it results will influence badge colors to help facilitate new connections. At the very least its sure to spur some conversation.
- John Cook of TechFlash, Briar Dudley of The Seattle Times and Eric Engleman of Puget Sound Business Journal. Watch as one minute pitches by entrepreneurs in attendance are judged by this panel of journalists. Better yet, prepare your own pitch and have some fun with it!
- Seattle 2.0 will be there capturing all the action with photos, video, and blog posts.
