16 Transformers, 10 days, 4 cities, dozens of meetings, panels, receptions, and networking events. No matter how you count it, the US Entrepreneurship Journey was a memorable trip and an amazing success. Our young entrepreneurs were the talk of the town wherever they went and even had the opportunity to represent their peers worldwide at a White House event celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week. Many of the Journey sessions were recorded live and are still available for viewing on the GIST UStream channel here. For insights from the participants, be sure to read the posts on this GIST Journey blog and see photos from the trip on GIST’s Facebook page.
