Global Entrepreneurship Week is a global celebration that occurs from November 18-24, 2024. People come together through local, national, and global events to create solutions for worldwide economic growth. This year, we want to bring Entrepreneurship Week to Topeka to help celebrate our Dream Chasers, Opportunity Makers, and Success Creators who launch startups and bring ideas to life. We want to provide a week full of events that provide knowledge and substance to the entrepreneurs of Topeka! Our goal is to have a robust list of events put on by organizations and people throughout the city for community members to choose from during the week!

This year, due to when many events were planning to take place, we will be celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week a week early in Topeka! November 11 – 15, 2024. Below are the different events taking place and how to register for them!
