The SpringBoard Ideas Challenge has announced that it will hosting a series of "Boot Camps" consisting of tutorials and Q&A sessions for those who are interested in entering this year's competition. The first of these events will be next Monday, March 23rd at in the AT&T Wireless Theater at ACU's Hunter Welcome Center. It will kick off at 5pm and should last no more than an hour, including a thirty minute slot for Q&A.

The Springboard Ideas Challenge is Abilene's community-wide business plan competition. Contestants in three categories - University Students, Community Pre-Revenue, and Community Post-Revenue - will submit 10 page business plans for a shot at $40,000 in cash prizes.

Chad,
Thanks for the Springboard coverage. Dr. Kersey, our speaker delivered a lot of worthy wisdom and it's important to note that VC's of his calibre and connections don't often find their way to Abilene. It would be great if some of your readers could send Dr. Kersey a note of appreciation. His contact information can be found at www.camdenpartners.com. Also, if possible, it would be informative to post the Springboard Awards Dinner program on your blog.
Thanks,
Jim Porter

Chris, it is a great event. I participated last year and had a blast. I would connect with Ryan (mentioned in the post) via twitter with questions. He is the man in charge this year.
Hey Chad,
This looks like a fantastic program. How involved are you with this? UNT doesn't have any kind of b-plan competition and I'd like to get one going. Can you hook me up?
