As interest in entrepreneurship grows, so too does the number of alumni events focused on this hot topic. The HBS Club of Greater New York, for instance, recently hosted its second annual America's Entrepreneur Awards ceremony. "We inaugurated our awards program last year to recognize the accomplishments of those companies that are transforming old industries and creating new ones," said Club President Ron Gerber (MBA '86). As an example, Gerber cited Steve Nicol, cofounder of this year's winning company, Puma Technology. The club also sponsored an Internet conference in conjunction with the awards dinner. More than five hundred attendees listened to a compelling keynote address by America Online CFO Michael Kelly and participated in a seminar led by HBS associate professor Amar V. Bhidé that touched on the findings of his recent book, The Origin and Evolution of New Businesses.
In April, the club hosted "Untethered New York: Strategies for Success in the Mobile Internet World," in cooperation with the New York Times and angelbeat.com. Carl Yankowski, CEO of Palm, Inc., and Microsoft's SVP Craig Mundie were featured speakers.
For information on future events, visit the club's Web site at www.hbscny.org or contact Ron Gerber, at 212-879-6808, rgerber@gerbercompany.com, or Kate Workman, executive director, at 212-947-5544, hbscny@worldnet.att.net.
