Take your Book or Idea from Page to Stage
Turn your book or idea into opportunities in speaking, media, business, and partnerships. Hosted by Arsham Saeidi-Pour, Founder of Mint Mantis, and Luisa Alvarez, Founder of Own the Room, in partnership with University Canada West's Entrepreneurship Program. In this hands-on, three-part workshop, you'll learn how to find opportunities beyond publishing, build a business case, and present your idea confidently to potential partners, media, and investors. You'll leave with a clear direction, a business case, and a two-minute pitch.
