Idea Fair / Idea Conference
A one-day conference event where entrepreneurs pay to present their business ideas (around $500 ticket) and attendees pay to listen (around $100). The first half features rapid-fire idea presentations with live audience feedback via an app, and the second half is a science-fair style networking session where presenters have tables for one-on-one conversations with potential co-founders, investors, or partners.
