“The Babson Collaborative Annual Global Summit (AGS) brings together entrepreneurship educators from around the world to share best practices in pedagogy and advance thought leadership. The Babson Collaborative is driven by a shared belief that institutions acting together achieve more toward their entrepreneurial mission and goals than each working alone.”
AGS attendees must belong to a member institution of the Babson Collaborative. Besides professors of entrepreneurship and managers of startup incubators and accelerators, the collaborative also has academic deans, division chairs, vice-chancellors, and the like.
