The Mountain-Desert Economic Partnership (MDEP) is hosting a series of workshops and panels dedicated to entrepreneurship in the High Desert.

“An entrepreneurial mindset benefits everyone, whether or not you set out to launch your own business,” said Entrepreneurship For Everyone co-founder Thomas Hallin. “With this as part of your skillset you can become a better student, employee, leader, and — if you so desire — business owner.”

Each workshop — open to all ages, including students — is hosted by an expert who addresses topics including validating your idea, customer discovery, pitching, marketing, and successfully launching or operating a business.

The peer-to-peer learning panels allow participants to connect with entrepreneurs, ask questions about the entrepreneurship journey, and learn how to address challenges.

Workshops are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every other month from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Panels are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every other month, December-June, from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Complete an application to be a panelist.
