You’re Invited to a Live-and-In-Person (and Streaming) E3 Expo

For the first time since 2019, the annual Emerson Experience in Entrepreneurship (E3) program pitch competition will be in person on Friday, April 22. And for those who can’t attend, the expo will be livestreamed on YouTube.

This year’s cohort has been working on their individual entrepreneurial efforts all year. Judges will award cash to three entrepreneurs at the end of the competition.
