Israeli Entrepreneurship Night
MONDAY, November 16th
6:00pm to 7:30pm
@ Vancouver School of Theology, Room 500
 Official Site


Dear Friend,

On behalf of Israel Awareness Club (IAC), I cordially invite you to our most exciting event yet, and one of the premier business events hosted on campus. Come to explore Israel's hi-tech industry, sustainable innovations and entrepreneurial spirit.

The Israeli Entrepreneurship Seminar will unite two great Israeli businessmen, and bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise to you. Learn about the nature of entrepreneurship - the most essential (and elusive) quality in business - from Amos Michelson, the co-founder and former CEO of CreoScitex. Hear economic wisdom and benefit from Gal J. Smolar's years of experience as an advisor to private equity funds and venture capitalists.

Don't miss this opportunity! Today's economic climate demands dynamic, knowledgeably entrepreneurs whose experience and skill transcend national boundaries. At the seminar, you'll have full access to these men, who can speak to the challenges (and rewards) of doing business in North America, Israel and around the world.

So join us for the first ever Israeli Entrepreneurship Seminar. No RSVP required. Please arrive at 6pm at VST, Room 500 on November 16th. Light refreshments will be served.

Yours truly,
The UBC Israel Awareness Club
