Mr. Kris Kimel, president of the Kentucky Science & Technology Corporation, will moderate a panel of CEOs, discussing the differences between credentials and skill sets, and the value of each in the job market in the coming years
Mr. Marc Nager, Chief Community Officer of Techstars and Mr. Brian Raney, CEO of Awesome, Inc. will discuss how higher education can be a catalyst for entrepreneurial ecosystems to transcend any political, social, or geographic boundary
