Students at the Labovitz School of Business and Economics showed more than a little innovation and entrepreneurship themselves organizing the first LSBE Entrepreneurship and Innovation Conference at UMD. The October 1 conference is open to the public.

It's a chance for students to network with and be inspired by the business leaders they hope to become someday.
