Last year over 75 entrepreneurs as well as leaders in business, industry and manufacturing gathered to learn how technology transfer can generate greater profitability for their business in addition to how The Enterprise Center can help companies in that process.  Director of Technology Development and Transfer, Chris Daly expects a larger crowd this year as the word gets out and awareness of the conference grows.  Attendees can expect presentations by influential key note speakers, panel discussions, plus a private viewing of the newly released film "Hubble 3D."
