PULIAB

Minneapolis, MN | July 2025

Registration closes April 4, 2025

About the Workshop


Industry Advisory Boards (IABs) are often underutilized by academic programs, and advisory board members often wish to contribute more than they currently do. IAB members’ contributions are often in the form of advice, but they, along with the academic program, seek a true partnership – thus we seek to transform IABs into Industrial Partnership Boards.

The Project Unlock: Leveraging IABs to Infuse EM (PULIAB) workshop will teach you how to leverage industry expertise and experiences to integrate entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into your academic programs in a meaningful and authentic manner. You will learn how the Project Unlock method builds trust and the ability to co-create between industry and academia.

  • When: July 21 - 24, 2025.
  • Where: Hyatt Regency Bloomington, Minneapolis, MN.
  • Who Should Attend: Deans, Department chairs, Faculty leaders.
  • Cost*: $3,500 per person.

*Registration cost includes workshop attendance, airfare, lodging, select meals, one year of coaching and consulting, and access to a library of workshop materials.


What To Expect From the Workshop


Everything you learn from the facilitation and coaching team and other participants can be immediately applied to your context and topics of interest.
